Overview

  • Adrian Houser made an impactful debut for the White Sox on May 20, pitching six scoreless innings in a 1-0 victory over the Mariners.
  • Despite Houser's strong performance, the Mariners clinched the series on May 21 with Leody Taveras' eighth-inning two-run homer leading to a 6-5 win.
  • Seattle's Julio Rodríguez and Cal Raleigh also contributed key home runs in the series finale, while Chicago's Lenyn Sosa and Joshua Palacios hit back-to-back homers in the fourth inning.
