The White Sox and Mariners engage in a 16-inning contest, which is the longest home game in terms of time in M’s history, at 5 hours, 42 minutes. The game is scoreless through 13 innings, until the ChiSox post five runs in the 14th. With the score 5 – 1 in the bottom of the inning, Kyle Seager ties the game with his first career grand slam. This is the first game-tying extra-inning grand slam in Major League history. It also marks the first time that both teams have scored five or more runs after being shut out in regulation innings. In addition, it is the first time that any team has come back from five or more runs down in the 14th inning or later. An RBI single by Alejandro De Aza in the 16th inning puts the Pale Hose ahead, and he later scores an insurance run on another single by Alex Rios. Chicago wins, 7 – 5, snapping an eight-game losing streak the hard way.
