Scoring all of the runs with two outs, Seattle
rolled to its highest-scoring first inning since a nine-run
output in July 2023. The Mariners cracked back-to-back-to-back
home runs for the first time since June 2022 and the first time
ever in the opening inning.
Thorpe (3-2) retired the first batter of the night before a Cal
Raleigh double and two walks loaded the bases. He struck out
Luke Raley, but the Mariners responded with five straight RBI
hits.
Jason Vosler's two-run single opened the scoring. Mitch Garver
added an RBI double, Rojas belted a three-run shot to right, and
Moore and Robles followed with solo homers.
Thorpe allowed eight runs and six hits in two-thirds of an
inning. His season ERA climbed from 3.03 to 4.81.
Kirby (8-7) cruised behind the early support, limiting the White
Sox to six hits and a walk while striking out seven. The result
ended his four-start winless streak.
Tommy Pham hit an eighth-inning double among his three hits for
Chicago, which fell to 52 games under .500.
Kirby retired the side in order just once, in the fourth inning.
Jorge Polanco hit a two-run homer against White Sox reliever
Jared Shuster in the fourth inning. Shuster and fellow
left-hander Sammy Peralta scattered two runs, five hits and four
walks in 8 1/3 innings. They fanned a total of six.
Garver collected three hits and Raleigh added two for the
Mariners, who improved to 4-1 against the White Sox this season.
Chicago grounded into three double plays.
