The White Sox<\/a> go for the series win this afternoon against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park. A victory would give the South Siders their sixth series win of the season and move them to three games over .500 for the first time in 2026.<\/p>\n

Sean Burke<\/a> draws the start, hoping to erase the memory of his last mess \u2014 four runs, eight hits, and an early shower after 4 1\/3. Still, he\u2019s 2-3 with a 4.10 ERA in nine games, 48 1\/3 innings of mostly serviceable work.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how Seattle<\/a> marches out against Burke.<\/p>\n

Seattle throws Emerson Hancock<\/a> at the Sox, and he\u2019s been sneaky good: 3-2 with a 3.02 ERA over nine starts. Last time out, he took the loss despite giving up just one run in six. He did tag the Sox for a win back on May 9, even though he coughed up five runs in six innings. Go figure.<\/p>\n

Will Venable<\/a> stacks them up like this on the getaway day.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a familiar formula on both sides: Chicago<\/a> trying to piece together enough offense to back a starter and Seattle leaning on steady pitching. With the series on the line, small margins will matter early.<\/p>\n

The Sox have shown they can scrap out wins. So, now it\u2019s about closing the deal and heading to San Francisco<\/a> with another burst of momentum.<\/p>\n

First pitch is set for 3:10 p.m. CT on CHSN, with radio coverage on ESPN 1000.<\/p>\n
