Sox bats were quieted by Mariners starter George Kirby after that, until Mike Tauchman made a game of it off Seattle reliever Eduard Bazardo with a two-run homer in the seventh inning. Sosa followed up with his second solo homer in as many nights, a 410-foot blast to center that narrowed the gap to 7-5.

The Mariners lineup had five players with multiple hits and blasted a trio of home runs as they cruised past the White Sox.
