Jhonny Pereda Has 2 RBIs, Mariners Roll Past Red Sox 8-3
Jhonny Pereda drove in two runs as Seattle scored in two four-run innings and Boston lost four of five.
On Wednesday, the Seattle Mariners defeated the Boston Red Sox 8-3, with Jhonny Pereda delivering a two-run single during one of two four-run innings. The victory helps the Mariners maintain their long-shot wild-card hopes.
Seattle jumped to a 4-0 lead in the third inning after a wild pitch by Patrick Sandoval, the Boston lefthander. The Mariners racked up 25 runs and 37 hits over the three-game series.
Starting pitcher Bryce Miller lasted 4 2/3 innings, allowing one run off seven hits with three strikeouts. RBI contributions also came from Julio Rodr, Josh Naylor, Dominic Canzone, and Randy Arozarena.
Roman Anthony hit his first home run since returning from a 101-game absence, yet the Red Sox have lost four of five games. Boston clings to the league's second wild-card spot.
The Mariners return home Thursday to open a four-game series against the Athletics, while the Red Sox travel to Baltimore for their own four-game set Thursday night. Both teams seek momentum heading into September.
