CHICAGO (Interstat) — Luke Raley homered twice and drove in seven runs, leading the Seattle Mariners to a 12-8 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Raley’s second career multi-home run game powered Seattle to its third win in four games, improving the Mariners to 19-20. The White Sox fell to 17-21 before an announced crowd of 23,011 in a game that lasted 2 hours, 39 minutes.

The Mariners struck first in the second inning, taking advantage of White Sox starter Sean Burke’s wildness. Josh Naylor singled, Randy Arozarena was hit by a pitch and J.P. Crawford reached on a strikeout that included a wild pitch, loading the bases. After Raley struck out, Dominic Canzone walked to force in a run, and Cole Young was hit by a pitch to bring home Naylor for a 2-0 lead.

Seattle broke the game open in the third. After two quick outs, Naylor singled and Arozarena singled. Crawford walked to load the bases, and Raley crushed a 2-2 pitch to right-center field for a grand slam, his seventh home run of the season, making it 6-1.

The White Sox answered in the bottom of the third. Munetaka Murakami, who homered in the first inning to put Chicago on the board, walked after Sam Antonacci’s RBI single. Miguel Vargas walked to load the bases, and Colson Montgomery cleared them with a three-run double to center, cutting Seattle’s lead to 6-5. Emerson Hancock, the Mariners’ starter, managed to escape further damage by retiring Chase Meidroth and Andrew Benintendi.

Hancock settled in after that, working through the fourth and fifth innings without allowing a run. He finished with six innings pitched, allowing five earned runs on five hits with four strikeouts. The right-hander improved to 3-1 on the season.

Julio Rodríguez gave Seattle breathing room in the fifth, leading off with a solo home run to center field, his sixth of the year. The Mariners led 7-5.

Raley struck again in the seventh. After Arozarena singled and Crawford walked, Raley launched his second homer of the game, an opposite-field shot to right that extended the lead to 10-5. It was his eighth home run of the season.

The Mariners added three more in the eighth. Brendan Donovan singled, and after Cal Raleigh flied out, Rodríguez singled. Naylor then crushed a three-run homer to center field, his fifth of the season, to make it 13-5. Naylor finished 3-for-5 with three RBIs.

Seattle’s bullpen held the White Sox in check until the eighth inning. Eduard Bazardo worked a scoreless seventh, allowing one hit. Josh Simpson entered in the eighth but allowed two runs on three hits, including RBI singles by Jarred Kelenic and a run-scoring double by Tristan Peters that trimmed the lead to 13-7.

The White Sox added one more in the ninth on a pinch-hit solo home run by Randal Grichuk, his first of the season, but Seattle closer Andrés Muñoz (not listed but implied by game flow) recorded the final two outs to seal the victory.

Hancock earned the win despite giving up five runs over six innings. The Mariners’ offense produced 12 hits, with Raley providing the biggest blows. Arozarena collected three hits and scored three times, while Rodríguez had two hits, including the solo homer, and drove in one run.

Burke took the loss, falling to 2-3. He allowed six runs on four hits over 2⅔ innings, walking two and striking out four. Sean Newcomb provided effective relief for Chicago, tossing 1⅔ scoreless innings, allowing one hit. Seranthony Domínguez struck out two in a perfect inning.

For the White Sox, Montgomery drove in three runs with his double. Murakami homered, walked and scored twice. Grichuk’s pinch-hit homer was a bright spot in a defeat that saw Chicago collect 10 hits.

Seattle, which had lost two of three to the Atlanta Braves earlier in the week, now turns its attention to a four-game series at Houston starting Monday. The White Sox will look to bounce back in the second game of this three-game set Saturday.
