<p class="p1">The <a href="https://www.lookoutlanding.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Mariners</a> (31-30) offense went silent in a 5-1 loss against the <a href="https://www.southsidesox.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Chicago White Sox</a> (29-33) at U.S. Cellular Field on Tuesday night. After blowing up for 26 runs in a weekend series against the <a href="https://www.draysbay.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Tampa Bay Rays</a>, the Mariners have only managed to score two runs in two games so far against the Chicago White Sox. </p>
<p class="p2"> </p>
<p class="p1">While the Mariners offense did struggle against White Sox starter <span>Philip Humber</span>, <span>Felix Hernandez</span> was not at his top form either. Chicago got on the board early with a <span>Paul Konerko</span> solo home run in the bottom of the second inning. Then, in the third inning, <span>Omar Vizquel</span> tripled to right field to drive in two White Sox runners. After the triple, <span>Carlos Quentin</span> hit a two-run home run in the same inning and extended the White Sox lead to 5-1. </p>
<p class="p1"> </p>
<p class="p1"><span>Despite the struggles early, Eric Wedge kept Felix Hernandez in until the seventh inning. Hernandez did not allow a run for the rest of the game, but the White <span>Sox</span> offense got enough work done early. The five earned runs given up was the most Hernandez has surrendered in a game all season. </span></p>
<p class="p2"> </p>
<p class="p1">Humber was masterful in 7.2 innings of work. He surrendered only one run over five hits and three walks. <span>Miguel Olivo</span> drove in the only Mariners run with a sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth inning to score <span>Adam Kennedy</span> from third. </p>

<p>After a successful 7-3 home stand, the <a href="https://www.lookoutlanding.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Mariners</a> (31-28) head out on the road this week for a three game series against the <a href="https://www.southsidesox.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Chicago White Sox</a> (28-33) and a four game set against the <a href="https://www.blessyouboys.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Detroit Tigers</a> (31-27). Despite the Mariners having won six straight series, they are still 2.5 games behind the first place <a href="https://www.lonestarball.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Texas Rangers</a> (34-26) who have won five straight and are currently the hottest team in baseball.</p>
<p>The Mariners send out <span>Michael Pineda</span> (6-2 2.30 ERA) for game one Monday night against the White Sox. Pineda is coming off a solid performance against the <a href="https://www.camdenchat.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Baltimore Orioles</a> last week. He struck out seven and only allowed one earned run in seven innings of work. Opposing batters this season are managing to hit only .196 against the rookie.</p>
<p>Getting the start for the Chicago White Sox is <span>John Danks</span> (0-8 5.25). Danks has struggled mightily this season. In his last start he only lasted four innings, giving up nine earned runs over nine hits. </p>
