Seattle. Andrew Benintendi delivered an infield single in the ninth inning Tuesday night to drive in the go-ahead run, lifting the Chicago White Sox to a 2-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Chase Meidroth had tied the game earlier in the ninth, and four Chicago pitchers combined to limit Seattle to one hit. Chicago starter Anthony Kay provided a lengthened outing, and Bryce Miller produced 5 2/3 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts earlier in the game. Relievers including Luis Castillo, Tyler Davis, Bryan Hudson and Grant Taylor preserved the final margin, while Andrés Muñoz surrendered the tying and go-ahead hits in the ninth, ending the game in Chicago’s favor.
