Game notes
Suzuki tied Danny Meyer (1979) and Richie Zisk (1982) for
the second-longest hitting streak in Mariners' history. Joey Cora
(1997) holds the franchise record with a 24-game string. ... Mark McLemore was ejected by plate
umpire Charlie Reliford after being called out on strikes in the
second. He threw his bat and then his helmet. ... Cameron made the
game's outstanding defensive play in the sixth inning. He made a
diving catch on the dirt of the center-field warning track of
Carlos Lee's long drive. ... The White Sox failed to hit a home run
for the first time in nine games.
