More Than Just Home Runs
The impact of Suarez and Naylor was not limited to their batting. They also demonstrated agility and teamwork on the bases with a double steal in the sixth inning, both scoring on Jorge Polanco’s single. This blend of power and smart base running exemplifies the multifaceted skills the two bring to the Mariners.

In addition to the strategic plays and homers by Suarez and Naylor, Dominic Canzone also hit a home run, while Bryan Woo turned in a stellar pitching performance, allowing just one run on two hits over seven innings, tying his career-high with nine strikeouts.

Lenyn Sosa and Colson Montgomery also homered for the White Sox, who have had a strong post-All-Star break run, with a record of 10-6 despite the night’s setbacks. Following the game, White Sox right-hander Davis Martin, who allowed six runs over five-plus innings, spoke about the team’s resilience and learning curve, emphasizing their readiness to bounce back and win future series.
