The Seattle Mariners secured a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox in a thrilling matchup on Thursday. Bryan Woo delivered a stellar performance on the mound, limiting the Red Sox to just three hits over six innings. The Mariners’ offense came out strong, scoring four runs in the first two innings off Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet.

Leo Rivas and J.P. Crawford led the offensive charge for the Mariners, each recording two hits in the game. Mitch Garver delivered a key hit in the first inning, driving in two runs with a double off the Green Monster. Seattle extended their lead in the second inning, loading the bases and scoring two more runs on a sacrifice fly and a groundout.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox will travel to Cleveland for a three-game series against the Guardians, with Tanner Houck scheduled to start for Boston.

Overall, the Mariners’ strong pitching and timely hitting propelled them to a series win over the Red Sox. The team will look to build on their recent success as they continue their push for a playoff spot in the competitive American League.
