SEATTLE — Dominic Canzone delivered the walk-off hit for the Seattle Mariners, driving in Eugenio Suárez with a single for a 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox in 11 innings in front of 37,930 at T-Mobile Park.
The White Sox had plenty of runners on base Thursday.
They just couldn’t get them in, squandering several scoring chances.
The Sox went 1-for-17 with runners in scoring position while being swept in the three-game series.
“It was a tough one,” Sox manager Will Venable said. “Credit the guys for battling. Pitching was outstanding. But a lot of things we can point to where we have to play better. Situational hitting wasn’t our best game there. Obviously execution on defense. Got to hold runners. There’s a good list of things we can just be better, we’ve got to be better.”
Michael A. Taylor and Brooks Baldwin homered in the loss. The team hit eight home runs in the series.
Baldwin’s homer in the seventh tied the score at 2. The Sox went ahead in the 10th when Lenyn Sosa scored on a wild pitch.
The Mariners tied it when Miles Mastrobuoni began the bottom of the 10th with a bunt. Third baseman Josh Rojas threw wildly to first, and Randy Arozarena scored the tying run.
Rojas, a former Mariner, had just entered as a defensive replacement.
“(Rojas is) a veteran, he’s a pro, he knows he has to make that play obviously,” Venable said. “That’s why he’s in there, to make those plays. We thought it was a defensive upgrade for us. It just didn’t work out.”
The Sox came up empty in the 11th. They left 12 runners on base for the game.
“We just have to continue to zone them up and make good swing decisions,” Venable said. “In the case of today, there was some situational stuff — runner on second (and) nobody out, runner on third (and) less than two (outs). We just have to think smaller, maybe, and do whatever we have to do to put the ball in play.”
Canzone ended it in the bottom of the 11th with a single to right. Suárez scored just ahead of Taylor’s throw from right field.
“We’ve just got to keep at it,” said starter Shane Smith, who allowed two runs on four hits and struck out eight in five sharp innings. “It’s not the first time we’ve lost like this. We went through this early on in the season.
