Taylor Trammell hit two home runs, including the go-ahead blast in the ninth inning, to lift the Seattle Mariners to a 3-2 win over the host Chicago White Sox on Sunday afternoon.
Ty France also homered for Seattle, which has won 10 of its past 12 games. Mariners right-hander Paul Sewald (5-2) got the victory in relief.
Leury Garcia and Yasmani Grandal had one RBI apiece for the White Sox, who have dropped seven of eight. Chicago right-hander Liam Hendriks (3-2) took the loss.
Mariners left-hander Hector Santiago became the first player to be ejected for violating Major League Baseball s foreign-substance rule since umpires began cracking down on the issue this month. Home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi commandeered Santiago s glove, and the 33-year-old walked bare-handed into the clubhouse after giving up one run in 2 1/3 innings.

Nam Y. Huh/AP On Saturday, manager Tony La Russa said that Jose Abreu put his hand on a baseball and swore he was healthy enough to play. The accumulated bumps and bruises of the season had not been enough to sit him down. A day later, a 96 mph sinker from Mariners pitcher JT Chargois hit Abreu’s left knee and took him out in the sixth inning of the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader. X-rays were negative and Abreu was listed as day to day.
