Boston Red Sox split three-game series against Seattle Mariners
The Boston Red Sox and Seattle Mariners split their three-game series at Fenway Park. In the opening game on August 31, the Mariners secured a 9-6 victory, fueled by a three-run home run from Randy Arozarena and a home run in the Major League debut of Lazaro Montes. Red Sox rookie starter Jedixson Paez struggled, allowing eight runs over 3 2/3 innings.
The series concluded with a dramatic 10-inning comeback for Boston. Trailing 8-5 late in the game, the Red Sox rallied to tie the score in the ninth inning. In the bottom of the 10th, Trevor Story hit a walk-off, bases-loaded RBI single to drive in Eli White, securing a 9-8 win. Story finished the night with two hits and three RBIs, while Mickey Gasper contributed a solo home run.
Notable roster updates included the return of Trevor Story and Roman Anthony to the Red Sox lineup following injury absences, and the placement of first baseman Willson Contreras on the 10-day injured list with a hamstring strain.
