BOSTON (AP) --- Trevor Story drove in the winning run with a bases-loaded
single in the 10th inning after Seattle walked the two batters before him
intentionally, lifting the Boston Red Sox to a 9-8 comeback victory over the
Mariners on Monday night.
Jarren Duran hit a two-run homer and Mickey Gasper a solo shot for the Red Sox,
who were coming off a rough weekend when they dropped three of four to the
Yankees.
Randy Arozarena had four hits, including a homer over the Green Monster, drove
in four runs and scored three times for the Mariners, who have lost five
straight. Cal Raleigh also got his 20th homer of the season.
Aroldis Chapman (3-4) worked a scoreless 10th.
Nick Sogard sacrificed, then the Mariners walked the next two batters, before
Story lined a 3-2 pitch from Cooper Criswell (2-2) into the left-center gap.
Boston tied it against Andrs Muoz in the ninth. Roman Anthony had a leadoff
triple when center fielder Julio Rodrguez tried to make a sliding catch before
the ball hopped past him, and scored on Ceddanne Rafaela's fly to left.
Trailing 5-3 in the sixth, Arozarena's two-run single tied it before Dominic
Canzone's two-run double gave Seattle the lead.
Boston had taken a 5-3 edge on Rafaela's two-run single.
Arozarena's homer, estimated at 402 feet, sliced it to 3-2 in the third before
his RBI single tied it.
Boston starter Payton Tolle gave up four runs in 5 2/3 innings. In a lighter
moment, he pounced off the mound to grab Canzone's dribbler up the first-base
line and cut him off before hugging him while making the tag.
Gasper, recalled when Willson Contreras went on the injured list with a
strained left hamstring, homered into Boston's bullpen.
Up next
Mariners RHP Bryan Woo (9-9, 4.36 ERA) is set to pitch the middle game of the
three-game series Tuesday. The Red Sox starter was not immediately announced.
