Bellingham, WASports

Leody Taveras' two-run homer in the eighth inning led the Seattle Mariners to a thrilling 6-5 win over the Chicago White Sox on May 21. Trailing 5-4, the Mariners capitalized on Rowdy Tellez's single to set up Taveras' game-winning hit. Cal Raleigh's solo home run also contributed to the victory, tying him with Aaron Judge for the AL lead with 16 homers. The White Sox initially took the lead with back-to-back homers from Lenyn Sosa and Joshua Palacios in the fourth inning, but their momentum faltered. Rookie Chase Meidroth's RBI single put Chicago ahead briefly in the seventh, yet they could not hold onto the lead.

Seattle's Logan Evans allowed four runs in six innings, while Casey Legumina earned the win despite an unearned run. The Mariners' bullpen, led by Muñoz, effectively retired six of seven hitters to secure the victory. This win highlights Seattle's strong performance as they chase a playoff spot.
