SEATTLE (AP) — Eugenio Suárez homered and Bryan Woo pitched seven sparkling innings, helping the Seattle Mariners beat the White Sox, 8-3, on Tuesday night.
The White Sox have lost two straight after winning the first two of their six-game West Coast trip, which continues Wednesday night and concludes Thursday afternoon in Seattle.
Suárez hit a tiebreaking two-run shot in the fourth inning for his 37th homer of the season. It was his first homer since he was reacquired by Seattle in a trade with Arizona last week.
Josh Naylor and Dominic Canzone also went deep for the Mariners in their fourth win in five games. Jorge Polanco finished with two hits and two RBI.
Woo (9-6) struck out nine in his first win since July 4. The right-hander has pitched at least six innings in his first 22 starts this season, a franchise record.
Lenyn Sosa, Luis Robert Jr. and Colson Montgomery homered for Chicago. Davis Martin (3-9) allowed six runs, five earned, and seven hits in five-plus innings.
Canzone tied it at 1-1 with his seventh homer in the second, a 405-foot drive to right-center. Polanco made it 5-1 with a two-run single in Seattle’s three-run sixth.
Naylor tacked on a two-run shot in the seventh, a drive to right off Bryan Hudson for his 13th homer.
Robert and Montgomery hit back-to-back homers in the ninth off Jackson Kowar.
Key moment
Naylor and Suárez opened the sixth with consecutive walks. They pulled off a double steal to move into scoring position for Polanco’s base hit.
Key stat
The sixth featured four stolen bases for the Mariners, just the third time in franchise history that they had four steals in an inning. The last time was on June 6, 2004, also against the White Sox.
Up next
Right-hander Jonathan Cannon (4-8, 4.77 ERA) starts for Chicago on Wednesday night, and George Kirby (6-5, 4.13 ERA) goes for Seattle.
First pitch is scheduled for 8:10 p.m.
