SEATTLE (AP) — Julio RodrÃguez hit a three-run homer during a five-run second inning for the Seattle Mariners as they beat the Chicago White Sox 8-6 on Wednesday night.
RodrÃguez — who on Sunday became the — went deep on a hanging sweeper from starter Jonathan Cannon (4-9). Cal Raleigh drove in two runs with a single immediately before RodrÃguez’s homer.
Seattle led 7-1 after two innings, thanks in part to Josh Naylor’s two-run homer in the first. George Kirby (7-5) was effective for six innings, yielding two runs and five hits while striking out nine.
