The Seattle Mariners survived a late White Sox surge to claim an 8-6 victory Wednesday night, powered by Julio Rodríguez's explosive three-RBI performance that included a towering two-run homer in the third inning. Seattle's offense struck early against Chicago starter Jonathan Cannon, chasing him after just 1.2 innings with seven runs on four hits—including Josh Naylor's 420-foot blast that ignited the crowd. Cal Raleigh added two RBIs of his own, continuing his clutch hitting with runners in scoring position.

Chicago fought back with late heroics—Mike Tauchman and Michael A. Taylor each delivered two-hit nights, and Lenyn Sosa's solo shot in the eighth cut the deficit to two—but the Mariners' bullpen held firm. George Kirby set the tone with nine strikeouts over six strong innings, while Andrés Muñoz closed it out despite allowing a ninth-inning homer. The win keeps Seattle in the thick of the playoff race, while the White Sox's late rally wasn't enough to overcome their early defensive lapses.
