Grichuk, White Sox rally past Mariners 2‑1

CHICAGO (Interstat) — Randal Grichuk hit a solo home run and Drew Romo scored the winning run in the eighth inning as the Chicago White Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 2-1 on Sunday at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Grichuk’s 377-foot drive to right field tied the game. Romo then tagged up on Miguel Vargas’ sacrifice fly and scored when left fielder Randy Arozarena’s throw sailed wide. Chicago’s Seranthony Domínguez loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth but struck out one and induced a double-play grounder for his ninth save.

Bryan Hudson (1-0) earned the win with a scoreless eighth. Eduard Bazardo (2-2) took the loss after allowing two runs in the eighth. Logan Gilbert struck out nine over six scoreless innings for Seattle, allowing one hit. Davis Martin struck out nine over six innings for Chicago, yielding three hits and one unearned run.

Seattle took a 1-0 lead in the first on an RBI single by Arozarena aided by a center field error. The White Sox improved to 19-21; the Mariners fell to 19-22. Attendance was 19,247. Game time: 2:30.
