Another late-game surge led the Seattle Mariners to their third consecutive win, as Bryce Miller (5-5, 3.81 ERA) aims for his sixth win of the season. On the 8th, Miller pitched poorly with 7 runs allowed in 5 innings during an away game at Kansas City, showing significant differences between his home and away performances. Typically, he is very strong at home, with a 2.13 ERA as evidence. The Mariners' lineup, which scored 4 runs by targeting the White Sox bullpen in the previous game, is displaying excellent late-game concentration at home. Notably, they won the last game without hitting a home run. The bullpen, which held the opponent scoreless with 1 hit over 3.2 innings, thanks to Stanek’s stable closing, will be appreciated.
The Chicago White Sox, whose bullpen collapsed once again, will have Jonathan Cannon (0-1, 5.94 ERA) retry for his first career win. In his major league return on the 8th, Cannon secured his first save with a scoreless 3-inning performance against Boston at home, indicating that his one-month experience in the minors was beneficial. The problem is Cannon’s poor performance as a starter on the road, with the key being how well his sinker-sweeper combination will work. The White Sox lineup, which scored 3 runs including 2 home runs off Jose Diaz in the previous game, failed to target the Mariners' bullpen and thus ended up losing. All their poor tendencies were evident in the game. The bullpen, which squandered rookie Dope’s win by giving up 2 runs in 3 innings, fits the phrase “as expected.”
Despite being at a disadvantage early due to Bryan Woo’s sudden injury exit, the Mariners managed to turn the game around again with a replacement starter. Considering Miller’s strong home performance, it seems likely that he will continue his good form. Even though Cannon showed a decent performance in his previous appearance, the Mariners are good at targeting right-handed pitchers’ sinkers, which will determine the outcome. The Seattle Mariners, with an edge in starting pitching, are closer to victory.
