White Sox Battle Mariners to Avoid Record-Tying Losing Streak
The Chicago White Sox are facing a crucial game against the Seattle Mariners on Sunday, trying to avoid tying a franchise-worst 14th consecutive loss. Despite a tough season, they are banking on a strong performance from All-Star left-hander Garrett Crochet to turn things around.
White Sox’s Struggles and Crochet’s Key Role
Garrett Crochet (6-7, 3.07 ERA): Crochet has been a rare bright spot for the White Sox this season. The All-Star pitcher has tallied 157 strikeouts and maintains a 3.07 ERA, successfully transitioning to the starting rotation after Tommy John surgery. Amid trade rumors, Crochet’s future with the team is uncertain, making this potentially his last start in a White Sox uniform.
“I’m just glad to be healthy and that my stuff has held up throughout the season,” Crochet said, reflecting on his year.
Despite his efforts, the team is struggling, currently 53 games below .500 and on the brink of a historic losing streak.
Mariners’ Dominance and Key Players
The Mariners have dominated the series, powered by a flurry of home runs, including three from Jorge Polanco. Newcomers Yimi Garcia and Randy Arozarena have also made notable contributions, with Arozarena expressing excitement about joining the team, saying,
“This is a new family I’m going to make now.”
Pitching Matchup: Crochet vs. Miller
Garrett Crochet: Crochet is 0-0 with a 2.16 ERA in three career appearances against the Mariners. His last outing against Seattle was impressive, recording 13 strikeouts over seven innings.
Bryce Miller (7-7, 3.41 ERA): Miller, starting for the Mariners, has been on fire recently, posting a 0.96 ERA in three July starts. He has been particularly effective against the White Sox, with a 0.64 ERA in two starts against them this season.
