Morning Box Score: M's Edge Sox In Extras

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Sep 18, 2009 3:00PM

The Mariners rallied from a 3-0 deficit to edge the White Sox 4-3 in 14 innings, a dramatic, tough-to-swallow loss for the Pale House. The Sox got runs in the first, third, and fifth innings to take an early 3-0 lead. John Danks gave the White Sox a fantastic outing, pitching eight innings, allowing only one run, and striking out three. But closer Bobby Jenks blew the game in the ninth, giving up two runs on a pair of solo homers in the ninth. The Sox bullpen held until the 14th when Ichiro got an RBI single off of Scott Linebrink to end the game. Afterward, Ozzie could only say:

"I'm only going to say two things," said Guillen, sitting behind his desk following the White Sox second straight setback to Seattle and their fourth loss in six games on this West Coast swing. "I'm tired and I don't have anything.

"It was 2 1/2 hours of satisfaction and then 2 1/2 hours of [bad] baseball. Go and ask them. I don't have any more quotes, seriously. What am I going to say? They [are bad]? Yes, they are."

The Sox are back home tonight to open up a series with Kansas City at 7:11 p.m. (WCIU).
