Red Sox Stumble as Mariners' Second Inning Surge Steals the Show

The Boston Red Sox faced a challenging night at T-Mobile Park, falling to the Seattle Mariners with an 8-0 scoreline. This result places the Red Sox at a 38-37 record, while the Mariners improve to 37-35. The game was marked by a significant second inning for the M’s, which set the tone for their victory.

First Inning

The opening inning saw both teams starting cautiously. The Red Sox struggled to find their rhythm against Seattle's pitching, managing no hits and leaving runners on base. Meanwhile, Boston's pitcher Walker Buehler kept his composure early on but faced challenges from Seattle's lineup.

Second Inning

The second inning proved pivotal as Seattle capitalized on opportunities with five runs scored off three hits. This offensive burst included contributions from multiple players in Emerald City’s lineup and put pressure on Boston's defense and pitching staff.

Third to Fifth Innings

Boston attempted to regroup in subsequent innings but continued facing difficulties at bat. The team managed only one hit during this stretch while struggling against effective pitching from Seattle’s bullpen. On defense, Buehler was replaced after conceding eight earned runs over 3⅓ innings pitched.

Sixth to Ninth Innings

Despite efforts by relievers like Zack Kelly who maintained control without allowing further runs, Boston could not mount any comeback offensively throughout these frames—recording just two total hits across nine innings played—and ultimately fell short against strong performances by opposing pitchers.
