Mariners Hold on for Contested Win over White Sox to Claim Series
Seattle hit three home runs and went 4 for 16 with runners in scoring position to edge Chicago by one run.
On Wednesday, the Seattle Mariners defeated the Chicago White Sox 5-4 at T-Mobile Park, concluding the three-game series with a narrow victory in front of 24,492 fans.
Mariners catcher Jhonny Pereda hit his first major-league home run, a 392-foot blast in the seventh inning, and Randy Arozarena followed with a two-run shot against reliever Jordan Hicks.
Recalled from Triple-A Tacoma last week when AL MVP runner-up Cal Raleigh was placed on the 10-day injured list, Pereda also tagged Chicago second baseman Chase Meidroth during a sixth-inning rundown.
Falling to 25-24, the White Sox saw their three-series winning streak end despite a ninth-inning rally led by pinch hitter Randal Grichuk's fourth home run of the season.
The Sox now travel to San Francisco for their final West Coast games on the schedule, with the upcoming series against the Giants beginning Friday night.
