A plodding, poorly-played series between two fourth-place teams came to a fitting conclusion.
Tyler Saladino blooped an 11th inning walk-off single to net the White Sox a 6-5 win over the Seattle Mariners in front of 28,031 on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Cellular Field. The game only reached extra innings because of Mariners shortstop Brad Miller, who fired an errant throw toward first base on a routine ground ball with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, allowing Trayce Thompson to score the equalizing run.
In short: Had Miller made an accurate throw, the game would’ve been over.
