First Inning


The opening inning was relatively quiet as both teams tested each other's defenses. The Mariners managed to get one hit but couldn't convert it into runs. Meanwhile, the Red Sox struggled against Seattle's pitching lineup and were unable to register any hits or runs.


Second Inning


The second inning proved pivotal for the M’s as they unleashed a barrage of hits that resulted in five runs. This offensive outburst was characterized by three hits and strategic base running that left Boston's defense scrambling. Seattle's ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities early in this period provided them with a comfortable lead that they maintained throughout the game.


Third Inning


In contrast to their explosive second inning, Seattle's third inning saw them adding just one hit without further increasing their scoreline. However, their defensive prowess continued to stifle any attempts by Boston to gain momentum or make significant advances on base.


Fourth Inning


Seattle once again found success in the fourth inning with another three-run surge fueled by consistent hitting from key players like Cal Raleigh who had an impressive .750 batting average during this matchup. This additional cushion further solidified their dominance over Boston as they extended their lead significantly.


Fifth through Ninth Innings
