Suárez, freshly reacquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks, wasted no time in reminding Seattle fans what his bat can do. In the fourth inning, with the game knotted, he crushed a tiebreaking two-run homer deep into the night—his 37th of the season and first since his dramatic return. The crowd erupted, knowing this was not just a home run, but a statement: the Mariners are pushing for October, and Suárez is leading the charge. For fans who want to relive his thunderous swing, check out the highlight on the Seattle Mariners’ official Twitter.
But the fireworks didn’t end there. Dominic Canzone blasted a 405-foot shot in the second to tie the game, and Josh Naylor added a mammoth two-run homer in the seventh, his 13th of the year, putting the game out of reach for the White Sox. Jorge Polanco chipped in with two hits and a pair of RBIs, including a clutch two-run single in a three-run sixth that showcased Seattle’s aggressive baserunning—four stolen bases in one inning, something the club hadn’t achieved since 2004.
On the mound, Bryan Woo was nothing short of magnificent. The right-hander snapped his winless drought since July 4, striking out nine and scattering three runs over seven innings. With this outing, Woo set a franchise record by pitching at least six innings in each of his first 22 starts this season, solidifying his status as the Mariners’ workhorse.

For the Chicago White Sox, the night saw flashes of power—Lenyn Sosa, Luis Robert Jr., and Colson Montgomery all went deep—but it wasn’t enough to halt their slide, marking a second consecutive loss. Starter Davis Martin struggled, yielding six runs (five earned) over five-plus innings, while the bullpen couldn’t stem the Mariners’ relentless assault.
Seattle’s fourth win in five games keeps them firmly in the playoff hunt, their lineup rejuvenated and their pitching staff delivering when it matters most. The atmosphere around T-Mobile Park is buzzing: fans are daring to dream, memories of past glories mixing with the hope of new ones yet to be written. As the series continues, all eyes turn to the next pitching duel: Jonathan Cannon for Chicago and George Kirby for Seattle.
