BOSTON (AP) --- Jhonny Pereda had a two-run single as part of the second of
Seattle's two four-run innings on the day, and the Mariners beat the Boston Red
Sox 8-3 on Wednesday.
Julio Rodrguez, Josh Naylor, Dominic Canzone and Randy Arozarena added RBIs
for Seattle. The Mariners racked up 25 runs and 37 hits over the three-game
series, winning the final two as they try to keep their long-shot AL wild-card
hopes alive.
Roman Anthony hit his first home run since his return from a 101-game absence
with a sprained right wrist for Boston, which has lost four of five as it
clings to the league's second wild-card spot.
Cooper Criswell (3-2) pitched a scoreless ninth inning to get the win. Seattle
starter Bryce Miller lasted 4 2/3 innings, allowing one run off seven hits and
striking out three.
Boston's Patrick Sandoval (1-4) lasted four innings, plus one batter, yielding
three runs off five hits.
The Mariners jumped in front 4-0 in the third inning. A wild pitch by Sandoval
provided the first run. With two outs, Seattle added to it, getting RBI singles
by Julio Rodrguez and Josh Naylor.
Jarren Duran's relay throw on Naylor's RBI sailed over third baseman Caleb
Durbin's head, allowing Rodrguez to score.
