THE BATTALION
Mariners go two up on White Sot
CHICAGO (AP) — Seattle’s bullpen bullied the
Chicago White Sox again, pushed aside the majors’
most potent offense and landed the road-tough
Mariners a 2-0 lead in their division series.
Now the White Sox will try to avoid a sweep
in Seattle when the series shifts to Safeco Field on
Friday.
“We don’t want to get in a slugging match with
the White Sox,” Alex Rodriguez said Wednesday af
ter Seattle’s 5-2 victory. “I don't know if it’s them
struggling or we’re making our pitches,”.
The win featured 3 1/3 hitless innings by Mariner
relievers, a go-ahead homer by Jay Buhner and su
perb defensive play by Mark McLemore.
It all puts the White Sox, owners of the AL’s best
record, on the verge of an early exit.
“Right now, obviously, we’re in some trouble,”
Chicago manager Jerry Manuel said. “I think if any
team can do it, we can. We won 95 games and feel
we can find a way to win three more.”
But to have any chance of winning just one game,
the White Sox must start hitting the ball, especially
with runners in scoring position — they are just 3-
for-23 in the first two games.
Seattle’s bullpen has allowed just three hits in 10
scoreless innings over the first two games, starting
with 6 2/3 innings of shutout ball in Tuesday’s 7-4
victory.
Paul Abbott gave up five hits and two runs over
5 2-3 innings Wednesday to win in his first postsea
son appearance in a pro career that began in 1985.
Relievers Arthur Rhodes, Jose Mesa and Kazuhi-
ro Sasaki did not allow a hit the rest of the way.
Sasaki struck out the side in the ninth for his sec
ond save of the series.
"The bullpen has been lights out," Abbott said.
“You go out there and know you have three or four
guys who are going to shut them down.”
The White Sox stranded eight runners, giving
them 18 in the first two games. Frank Thomas was
0-for-4 Wednesday and is hitless in seven series
at-bats.
Chicago’s 3-4-5 hitters—Thomas, Magglio Or
donez and Carlos Lee — were a combined 0-for-9
Wednesday after going 2-for-13 in the opener.
“We’re not surprised. But we also know they
could turn it on at any minute,” Rhodes said.
“I sense they are pressing somewhat. Obviously,
what they need is a bloop hit and not a home run,”
Manuel said of his fioundering middle hitters. “It
seems with all the fly balls and popups, we are prob
ably going about it the wrong way. We should be hit
ting a few more ground balls and line drives.”
The Mariners won eight of their final nine road
games in the regular season, including a wild card-
clinching win at Anaheim last Sunday. And nowit
have carried it over into the postseason.
“We made it interesting and tough on ourseli
down the stretch,’’Buhner said. Those games seem:
like playoffs games. Definitely that helped.
The White Sox have lost nine straight postseav.
home games since beating Los Angeles in Gat
of the 1959 World Series.
Thomas, an MVP candidate who hit 43 horn
and drove in 143 runs during the season, came
with runners at first and second in the seventhts
tlied out against Mesa for the second out. Mesai
fleeted Ordonez’s shot through the box.
McLemore made a spectacular diving stop.
He somehow flipped the ball to Rodriguez,it'
beating Jose Valentin in a close play for a fora
end another Chicago threat.
“That was the ballgame right there,” It,
driguez said.
Buhner’s 4(X)-f(Xrt homer to left in the fourthi
losing pitcher Mike Sirotka gave Seattle a 3-2lea!
Appearing in his 56th postseason game. Rick
Henderson manufactured a run for the Mariners
the fifth. He walked, moved up on a sacrifice a
stole third. He then scored on Rodriguez’s slowii
to third as Herbert Perry elected to go to first into
of home.
