Chase Meidroth and Andrew Benintendi hit run-scoring singles in the ninth inning as the Chicago White Sox rallied for a 2-1 victory against the host Seattle Mariners.
Four pitchers combined on a one-hitter as the White Sox evened the series at a game apiece. Reliever Bryan Hudson (2-1) got the victory and Grant Taylor struck out pinch-hitters J.P. Crawford, Luke Raley and Dominic Canzone for his first save of the season.
Seattle's Luis Castillo (1-5), making his first regular-season relief appearance after 252 career starts, took the loss.
Castillo, serving in a 'piggyback' role with starter Bryce Miller, struck out the side in the seventh and got out of a jam in the eighth.
Instead of bringing in closer Andres Munoz, the Mariners sent Castillo back to the mound in the ninth. He walked Munetaka Murakami and hit Miguel Vargas with a pitch. Castillo struck out Colson Montgomery before Munoz entered. A double steal put runners at second and third and Meidroth hit a chopper past drawn-in first baseman Naylor to tie the score. Benintendi followed with an infield single off Naylor's glove, allowing the go-ahead run to score.
The Mariners tallied their lone run in the bottom of the first. With one out, Julio Rodriguez lined a single to center, Randy Arozarena was hit by a pitch and Naylor walked to load the bases. Patrick Wisdom grounded into a forceout to shortstop Montgomery, with Rodriguez scoring on the play as Wisdom beat the throw to first in the White Sox's attempt for an inning-ending double play.
Miller didn't allow a hit until Tristan Peters' double leading off the sixth inning. Miller went 5 2/3 scoreless innings, walked one and struck out seven.
White Sox starter Anthony Kay nearly matched Miller, giving up one run on one hit over 5 1/3 innings. The left-hander walked three and fanned five.
Mariners rookie Colt Emerson got his first start at shortstop as Crawford, hit in the right biceps by a pitch Monday, was rested until coming off the bench in the ninth.
