Popups become adventures as Mariners beat White Sox 5-1

 Jared Kelenic hit a two-run homer off the right-field foul pole in the second inning, and the Seattle Mariners stopped a four-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on a windy Thursday.

 

Logan Gilbert (1-0) allowed an unearned run and four hits in five innings, and four pitchers followed with an inning each of hitless relief.

 

Andres Munoz struck out the side on 14 pitches in the sixth, Drew Steckenrider worked around a walk in the seventh, Diego Castillo pitched a perfect eighth and Paul Sewald threw a 1-2-3 ninth.

 

Chicago didn't get a hit after Tim Anderson's two-out single in the fifth.

 

Cal Raleigh homered off Bennett Sousa in the seventh and Mitch Haniger hit another home run against Jose Ruiz in the eighth.

 

Jimmy Lambert (0-1) gave up two runs and two hits in three innings of his season debut. He walked Eugenio Suarez on four pitches before Kelenic's blast off the right-field post.
