White Sox rally past M’s on Frazier’s walk-off hit

CHICAGO — As far as the Mariners are concerned, they can’t change the name of U.S. Cellular Field soon enough. A day after the White Sox announced they’ll be renaming the facility Guaranteed Rate Field for next season, Seattle’s struggles on the South Side continued as Todd Frazier singled in Adam Eaton for a 7-6 walk-off win on Thursday night.

Frazier delivered his third RBI of the game with one out in the ninth inning off reliever Nick Vincent as the White Sox rallied from a 6-3 deficit over the final three frames.

Perhaps a name change will exorcise the demons, as the Mariners are 7-26 at U.S. Cellular since 2008. Their latest loss proved costly, dropping them 7 1/2 back of the Rangers in the American League West and kept them three back of the Orioles for the AL’s second Wild Card berth at 67-60.

Mariners southpaw James Paxton overcame a shaky start to get through five innings with a 6-3 lead in his first outing since getting nailed by a line drive in the elbow Aug. 7. Paxton allowed three runs in the first, but held the White Sox in check for the rest of his five-inning outing. Chicago scored three unearned runs off reliever Arquimedes Caminero to tie the game in the seventh as Frazier delivered the big blow with a two-run single.

Anthony Ranaudo, making his third start for the White Sox in place of the injured Miguel Gonzalez, allowed five hits and six runs over 5 1/3 innings. The White Sox have won four of their past five to improve to 61-65.
