SEATTLE (AP) --- Wilyer Abreu hit a two-run homer, Connelly Early gave up two
hits and a run in six innings and the Boston Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners
5-1 on Saturday night.
Early (6-5) struggled in the first inning, giving up a run on two hits, but
didn't allow another hit through the rest of his six innings, although he did
hit three Mariners with pitches. He had seven strikeouts and two walks.
Tyron Guerrero pitched a scoreless seventh with two strikeouts, Garrett
Whitlock went 1-2-3 in the eighth and Danny Coulombe worked a clean ninth.
Abreu homered off Seattle starter Emerson Hancock (5-4) with two out in the
fourth, a shot to center field for his ninth of the season.
The Red Sox tacked on three runs in the sixth inning, with Abreu scoring on a
wild pitch and Caleb Durbin and Marcelo Mayer hitting back-to-back RBI infield
singles off reliever Jos A. Ferrer.
The Red Sox stole three bases in the game, with Durbin swiping two.
The AL West-leading Mariners dropped to 39-39, marking the first time they have
been .500 since May 29.
