Red Sox Waste 12 Hits, Drop Series With Loss To Mariners
Roman Anthony delivered three hits and another home run, but two disastrous innings sent the Red Sox to their sixth loss in eight games.
The Boston Red Sox faced a series defeat against the Seattle Mariners, falling 8-3 at Fenway Park. The team managed 12 hits but struggled to convert those hits into runs, falling short in critical moments. Seattle took a 4-0 lead in the third inning after Patrick Sandoval allowed consecutive singles and a wild pitch. The Red Sox offense failed to capitalize on several opportunities, including a ground-rule double in the fourth inning and a double play opportunity in the fifth.
In the sixth inning, Jhonny Pereda's two-run single extended Seattle's lead to 6-1, while Randy Arozarena and Dominic Canzone added runs in subsequent innings. Trevor Story had a standout performance with a solo home run and an RBI double, but Boston still struggled to capitalize on their chances. The loss extended the Red Sox's losing streak to six games and left them nine games behind the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays. The Mariners, meanwhile, earned their second consecutive series win.
