Chicago White Sox at Seattle Mariners: Final Score & Recap

The Chicago White Sox handed the Seattle Mariners a 2-1 defeat at T-Mobile Park on May 19, 2026, scoring both of their runs in the top of the ninth inning to erase a one-run deficit and silence a home crowd that had watched Seattle carry a lead through eight scoreless frames. Seattle's lone run had come in the bottom of the first, and it stood until the White Sox mounted a ninth-inning rally that swung the DiamondIQ model's estimate from a game in Seattle's control to a complete Chicago takeover.

The decisive sequence began when Miguel Vargas was hit by a pitch off Luis Castillo to put a runner on base, a moment that shifted win probability by 15.2 percentage points in Chicago's favor. Andrew Benintendi followed with a single off Andrés Muñoz, adding another 21.2 points, before Chase Meidroth delivered the most impactful swing of the night, a single off Muñoz that moved the needle a staggering 41.2 percentage points and keyed the two-run frame. Meidroth finished as the game's top batter by WPA at plus 35.6 percent with a RE24 of plus 0.6. In the bottom of the ninth, Dominic Canzone's strikeout off Grant Taylor ended Seattle's final threat and contributed a 31.6-point swing to Chicago's ledger, making Canzone the second-highest WPA performer among batters despite a RE24 of minus 0.1.

On the pitching side, Bryce Miller led all pitchers with a WPA of plus 28.6, turning in a performance that kept Seattle's offense largely dormant, limiting them to just one hit on the night. Anthony Kay contributed plus 12.4 WPA and Tyler Davis added plus 8.4 in relief. The DiamondIQ model had opened with Seattle holding a 48 percent home win probability, but that figure collapsed to zero by the final out, a reflection of just how completely Chicago controlled the game's critical moments despite being held scoreless for eight innings.
