1 Sep
Summary
- Red Sox rallied from an 8-5 deficit to win 9-8 in extra innings.
- Julio Rodríguez's misplay allowed the tying run to score in the ninth.
- Trevor Story hit a walkoff double to secure the Red Sox victory.
The Boston Red Sox achieved a thrilling 9-8 comeback win against the Seattle Mariners in a 10-inning game played before a sold-out crowd at Fenway Park on Monday night. The Mariners, now on a five-game losing streak, suffered a significant setback in their season.
Seattle had taken an 8-5 lead into the eighth inning, but the Red Sox mounted a furious comeback. Trevor Story's two-run double narrowed the gap to 8-7. The Mariners failed to add insurance in the top of the ninth, and a subsequent error by Julio Rodríguez allowed the tying run to score, forcing extra innings.
Cooper Criswell took the loss in the 10th inning for the Mariners. Boston sealed their victory when Trevor Story hit a walkoff double into the left-center gap. The Mariners' offense had shown signs of life, with Arozarena contributing significantly and Cal Raleigh hitting a home run, but it wasn't enough to overcome the late-game collapse.
