CHICAGO — It’s a play that snaps losing streaks. It’s a play that helps you beat one of the best pitchers in baseball. It’s a play that Shawn O’Malley has shown a knack for making this season. And it may have saved the Mariners from more late-inning disaster against the White Sox.
So much had to go right for the Mariners in their 3-1 win over the White Sox and Chris Sale on Friday night at U.S. Cellular Field.
They needed to scratch out runs against the perennial all-star and Cy Young Award candidate, which isn’t easy to do when you have three left-handers in your starting lineup.
