Leody Taveras, after being picked up by the Seattle Mariners from the Texas Rangers, made an impactful debut by hitting a three-run homer in a nail-biting game against the Chicago White Sox, leading to a 6-5 victory. Mariners manager Dan Wilson praised Taveras for his impressive performance, noting he consistently hit the ball hard. This victory was significant for Seattle, ensuring they stayed atop the American League West, while also marking Taveras's ongoing efforts to solidify his position within the team. Cal Raleigh also contributed to the win with his 16th home run of the season.
"He swung the bat very well today," Wilson said, MLB.com reported. "Hit the ball hard just about every time up today. Found the barrel a lot, particularly that last time up, and that was a big lift for us."
Taveras slammed a first-pitch, three-run home run as that was enough to push Seattle past the Chicago White Sox 6-5 at Rate Field in Chicago.
