Brock Holt delivered a two-out, RBI single in the 11th inning, lifting the Boston Red Sox to a 3-2 win over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday night. Yeah we I think we needed a few of these and then we have had a title. “It was a tough play”. In the air least yeah when you seek anchor Craig Campbell come out of the Al bullpen made its.

“I was able to get a sinker over the middle of the plate and use the big part of the field with it”, he said. “I don’t have that much swelling, it’s just sore all the way around”. “Unfortunately, it scooted into center and it ended up being the difference”.
Travis Shaw, who had a solo homer in the second, opened the 11th against Cody Martin (1-2) with an opposite-field single to left against the shift. “Just kind of poked it through”. O’Malley went sprawling for the ball, only to have it clip his glove and continue into center field.
“I really didn’t feel that nervous”. Then it took a hop.
“It felt good to get it out of the way”, Benintendi told reporters in Seattle.
It wasn’t a routine play, and had O’Malley fielded the ball cleanly, it’s unlikely he would have had a play at first. Diaz allowed a single and a hit batter, then threw a wild pitch to put runners on second and third with one out.

So far on this trip, Price has pitched into the eighth inning twice, Porcello has thrown two strong starts (nine innings, two runs against the Angels) and 23-year-old lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (6- 1/3 innings, one run) pitched his best game of the season.
The first sign that he was inching towards the Big League club was from manager John Farrell himself.
Cano grounded out to second.
“They’ve hit me pretty well in the past, but the last time I faced them in Boston, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do”, he said. Martin (1-2) was the loser. “I thought out pitching was outstanding tonight”.
Iwakuma struck out seven and walked none, leaving in the eighth after top prospect Andrew Benintendi’s second hit. The Boston Red Sox have an ERA of 4.33 and have lost five straight games when allowing more than three runs. The Red Sox are still only two games behind the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays, who are tied atop the division. The two were a combined 1-for-22 in the first three games.
The Red Sox squandered a bases-loaded one-out situation in the first inning when Jackie Bradley Jr. struck out swinging and Aaron Hill flew out to right field. He used only 12 pitches to strike out the side, using mainly a 98-mph fastball that looked like absolute fire coming out of his hand. Abad got two outs, but he also gave up a single and a walk.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Two Seattle Seahawks players went down with injuries within minutes of each other during Thursday’s practice.
Shawn O’Malley had three hits for the Mariners, including his first home run of the season in the fifth.
“I had a feeling (it was gone)”, O’Malley said. Guillermo Heredia followed with a bunt single and advanced to third on consecutive ground outs. Diaz would force a ground out to second that scored a runner before getting Sandy León to ground out.
Heredia’s momentum carried him onto the wall, but he held onto the ball. The Sox had Drew Pomeranz on the mound for the Sox vs. Ariel Miranda from the Mariners. Blake Parker, promoted earlier in the day from Triple-A Tacoma, worked around a two-out jam in a scoreless 10th inning…. “I don’t mind walking guys as long as I don’t give up runs”.

The games are only going to get tighter from here on out. We’re in that pitch-good, don’t hit; hit well, don’t pitch (phase). “We just didn’t finish it off”. His batting average and home runs were number one among all college players in 2015, and he stole twenty bases to go along with it. Boston finished with a 4-3 edge in the season series…
