Sox bats were quieted by Mariners starter George Kirby after that, until Mike Tauchman made a game of it off Seattle reliever Eduard Bazardo with a two-run homer in the seventh inning. Sosa followed up with his second solo homer in as many nights, a 410-foot blast to center that narrowed the gap to 7-5.

The Mariners have now won four of their last five games. Seattle’s base running also played a major role. The Mariners stole four bases in the sixth inning—only the third time in franchise history they’ve done so. The last time was June 6, 2004, also against the White Sox.

The Mariners lineup had five players with multiple hits and blasted a trio of home runs as they cruised past the White Sox.
