M’S Edge White Sox In 12-Inning Marathon

The earliest start ever in baseball history ended with another late-inning win by the Seattle Mariners.

Alex Rodriguez singled home the winning run with one out in the 12th inning Sunday night, lifting the Mariners over the Chicago White Sox 3-2 in the first major league game played in March.

Randy Johnson struck out 14 in seven innings - part of a team record-tying 21 strikeouts by Seattle pitchers - and Frank Thomas hit a two-run homer for the White Sox.
