The Chicago White Sox clinched a narrow 1-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners in Game 2 of their series, leveling the matchup at 1-1. Joshua Palacios provided the game's only run with a clutch RBI single. Pitcher Adrian Houser stood out in his debut for the White Sox, throwing six shutout innings and allowing just two hits, striking out two batters. The former Rangers pitcher showcased a significant turnaround after struggling at Triple-A.

Looking ahead, the Mariners are set to face the White Sox in an early morning rubber match, with Seattle's Logan Evans taking the mound against Chicago's Shane Smith. Evans has shown promise with a 2.57 ERA this season, while Smith seeks to improve his record after a challenging start. This game could have implications for both teams as they push for postseason positioning.
