Mariners' Fenway Park Voyage Ends as Red Sox Surge in Seventh

The Seattle Mariners faced off against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, resulting in a 3-8 loss for the Mariners. This game brought Seattle's record to 12-11, while Boston improved to 14-11. The Mariners managed to score early but were unable to maintain their momentum against a resilient Red Sox team.

Mariners' Early Efforts

Seattle started strong with an initial run in the first inning, thanks to Jorge Polanco's efforts at bat. However, despite their promising start and accumulating six hits throughout the game, they struggled with runners left on base—17 overall—and only managed three runs. J.P. Crawford contributed significantly with a .500 batting average and perfect fielding percentage from his previous performance.

The pitching staff had mixed results; Bryce Miller pitched for 4.2 innings with an ERA of 7.714 and allowed four earned runs on five hits. The bullpen faced challenges as well, allowing another four runs over the remaining innings.

Red Sox Rally

Boston capitalized on opportunities during key moments of the game, particularly in the seventh inning where they scored four decisive runs off four hits and one error by Seattle’s defense. The Red Sox tallied a total of eleven hits throughout nine innings without committing any errors themselves.

Rafael Devers was instrumental for Boston's offense, contributing significantly during their scoring surge that ultimately sealed their victory over Seattle.
