The Chicago White Sox once again found a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, falling to the Seattle Mariners this afternoon by a score of 6-5. The loss came largely thanks to a first-inning three-run tank by Julio Rodríguez and a late-game surge by the visitors. Despite a comeback effort and a power display of their own, the South Siders couldn’t overcome early deficits and the continued struggles of their bullpen.
The game started ominously for the White Sox as Mariners’ superstar J-Rod wasted no time getting to starter Shane Smith.
