Rodrguez hits a grand slam as Castillo and the Mariners beat the White Sox 5-1

Julio Rodríguez's grand slam led the Seattle Mariners to a convincing 5-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on May 19. Luis Castillo showcased his skills on the mound, pitching seven innings and allowing just three hits while striking out five, earning his first win since April 26. The Mariners capitalized on a series of two-out singles to score their first run in the third inning. Davis Martin pitched effectively for Chicago, going 7 1/3 innings but ultimately suffered the loss as the White Sox faced their fifth consecutive defeat. Andrew Vaughn's RBI single in the ninth provided Chicago's only run, but they failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities earlier in the game.

The Mariners have now improved to 23-11 since April 9, demonstrating their strong performance in the AL West. Key moments included a diving catch by Randy Arozarena, which preserved the Mariners' lead. The upcoming matchup features Bryse Wilson pitching for Chicago, with Seattle yet to announce its starter.
