White Sox Storm Past Mariners

In a game heard on WHOW, Eloy Jimenez drove in three runs with a homer and double, and Chicago took advantage of each of Seattle's three errors in a 9-6 come-from-behind win Wednesday afternoon. 

 

The Mariners began the day with the fewest errors of any team in baseball, then ended up allowing six unearned runs to the White Sox.

 

The White Sox took two of three in the series and stayed on the heels of Cleveland and Minnesota in the crowded AL Central race.

 

It looked early like it would be a series loss for the White Sox as Seattle starter Luis Castillo tied an American League record by striking out the first seven batters to start the game.

 

But Castillo made a mistake giving up Jimenez's two-out home run in the fourth inning, and watched Chicago rally for four runs in the sixth inning that started with a fielding error by third baseman Eugenio Suarez.

 

Liam Hendriks struck out the side the ninth for his 31st save. The White Sox have won six of the past eight.

 

Dylan Cease (13-6, 2.13) will start the opener of a four-game series in Oakland on Thursday. Cease was one out from a no-hitter in his last start against Minnesota. The no-hitter was broken up by Luis Arraez.
