June 18, 1984 - White Sox Deep-Six the Mariners

 

Game #840 - Chicago White Sox, 9 @ Seattle Mariners, 5

Seattle starter Mike Moore got into trouble right out of the gate.  He walked Harold Baines and later Greg Walker singled.  Ron Kittle stepped to the plate after that and sent a three-run homer into the cheap seats for an immediate 3-0 lead.  

Chicago added four more off Moore in the top of the third.  Baines launched a solo shot and a few batters later Carlton Fisk went big fly for the second three-run homer of the game for the Pale Hose.

White Sox starter Floyd Bannister had a smooth game except for the bottom of the fourth.  He got touched for three runs off home runs by Steve Henderson and Jim Pressley.  He got into another jam in the bottom of the eighth when reliever Al Jones made his Statis Pro season debut to end the uprising with  one and a third innings pitched of scoreless relief.
