White Sox 4, Mariners 3 (10): Dayan Viciedo slammed a homer to left field with one out in the bottom of the 10th to lift Chicago past visiting Seattle.
Viciedo drilled a 2-0 pitch from Kameron Loe (1-1) well into the bleachers to give the White Sox their second consecutive victory and hand the Mariners their fourth loss in five games. Addison Reed (1-0) worked out of a jam in the top of the 10th by striking out Michael Morse with two runners on.
All the runs in the contest came on homers. Morse hit a two-run homer in the top of the first for Seattle and Chicago’s Adam Dunn answered with a mammoth two-run shot in the bottom of the inning.
Kendrys Morales, who went 3-for-4, homered in the sixth to give Seattle a 3-2 edge and Alex Rios hit his third homer in as many days in the seventh to tie the score.
