The Boston Red Sox secured a 6-2 victory against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night, anchored by a dominant pitching performance from Ranger Suarez. According to CBS News, Suarez carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning, striking out five batters and walking three across 6 2/3 innings of work.
The Red Sox offense provided early support with a second-inning solo home run from Caleb Durbin, his fifth of the season. The game remained tight until the seventh inning, when Boston capitalized on a wild pitch and a bases-loaded single by Marcelo Mayer to extend their lead. Despite the Mariners attempting a late-game rally, highlighted by Julio Rodríguez’s two-run homer in the ninth, the deficit proved too substantial to overcome.
Seattle’s starter, Bryce Miller, struck out seven over five innings while allowing only one run. However, the Mariners’ reliance on a “piggyback” rotation faced difficulties in relief, as Luis Castillo surrendered five runs in four innings. The two teams are scheduled to continue their series on Saturday, with Connelly Early slated to start for Boston against Seattle’s Emerson Hancock.
