Grichuk's Eighth-Inning Blast Sends White Sox Past Mariners in Low-Scoring Battle
The Mariners came up just short in Chicago on Friday night, falling 2-1 to the White Sox in a tight pitching duel that came down to one swing. Grichuk broke the game open with a homer in the eighth inning, pushing the White Sox ahead and ultimately sealing the win at T-Mobile Park's expense.
Another Close One That Got Away
This was the kind of game that stings. The Mariners kept it tight through seven innings, but couldn't generate enough offense to pull through when it mattered most. In a matchup where both teams were playing small ball, one mistake in the eighth turned the whole thing around. That's baseball in May, but it doesn't make it any easier to swallow.
