Sox need to stop gawking at strikes. This is not a spectator sport.

markj · June 14, 2018, 09:53:17 PM

Although swinging and missing doesn't do much good either.

markj · June 14, 2018, 10:49:22 PM

Xander with a solo dinger makes it 2-1.

Schloicka · June 14, 2018, 11:43:28 PM

2-1 going into the bottom of the 8th. Kelly coming on. Mariners got their run because Vaz decided to try a pick off at 2nd and the guy went to 3rd on the throw and then scored on a sac fly. Price pitched excellent tonight.

Schloicka · June 14, 2018, 11:50:51 PM

Kelly with a scoreless 8th. Let's see if the Sox can get an insurance run in the top of the 9th.

Guess not. 2-1 going to the bottom of the 9th and it's Kimbrel time and he's going to face the 3-5 hitters for Seattle.

Schloicka · June 15, 2018, 12:10:15 AM

Kimbrel was shaky but game ends on a DP. Sox win 2-1. On to Friday.

BoSoxFanNY · June 15, 2018, 12:14:47 AM

THAT was a bit scary -
Walks first two batters, then strikeout and DP.

Good for Kimbrel, good for us!
Sox beat Mariners 2 -1!

SEATTLE -- With a combination of power and command, David Price was marvelous on Thursday night at Safeco Field, leading the Red Sox to a 2-1 victory over the sizzling Seattle Mariners in the opener of a four-game series.

Price topped out at 96.3 mph and averaged 93.8 mph with his two seamer over seven brilliant innings, besting Felix Hernandez in a duel of former Cy Young Award winners.

View Full Game Coverage
Boston's veteran lefty scattered five hits and didn't walk anyone while allowing one run and striking out seven.

In his last seven starts, Price is 6-0 with a 2.64 ERA.

Helping make the win possible was a strong, two-way performance from Xander Bogaerts. The shortstop smashed his 10th homer of the season -- matching the total he had in 2017 -- to snap a 1-1 tie with two outs in the sixth.

In the bottom of the inning, Jean Segura spun a grounder toward the middle that Bogaerts made a sliding play on. In one motion, he tagged the bag with his glove for the force and then, from his knees, fired a strike to first for the double play.

Jackie Bradley Jr. staked Price to a 1-0 lead when he smoked an RBI double into the right-field corner in the second. The Mariners got that run back on a sacrifice fly by Guillermo Heredia in the fifth.

After Bogaerts put Boston ahead, Price and the bullpen took it from there. The Red Sox are 4-0 on this 10-game road trip, and have a 48-22 record, putting them two percentage points behind the Yankees in the American League East. Seattle entered this series riding a four-game winning streak and a 15-5 mark in the last 20 games.

LAST SENTENCE: Sox are 15-5 in the last 20 games.
WOW!
