White Sox 6, Mariners 5 (11 innings): Charity accepted

Tyler Saladino wins it with walk-off single after Seattle ninth-inning error allows tying run to score

After 20 innings and more than eight hours of baseball over the last two days, I think we can safely conclude that the White Sox and Mariners deserve each other.

A Tyler Saladino walk-off single in the 11th helped the Sox salvage a series they had no business splitting. It was made possible because Seattle shortstop Brad Miller pull-hooked a rather routine throw to first well wide of the bag. Instead of a game-ending groundout, the tying run scored, and a couple of shutout innings from David Robertson (good managing) set up the victory.
