The Seattle Mariners pulled off a gritty 9-6 victory against the Boston Red Sox today, clinching two of three games in their midweek series at Fenway Park. It was a win that felt earned after a tricky lead-up, especially with how our pitching staff had been performing.
Miller Digs Deep As The M’s Deny Boston
Our guy, Bryce Miller, took the mound for the Emerald City today. He was coming in after a rough stretch, having given up a whopping 16 runs, with 15 of those earned, over his last three starts. Honestly, the expectation was that he might keep the Red Sox offense “in rhythm,” which isn’t exactly a confidence booster for the M’s faithful. On the other side, Boston sent Patrick Sandoval to the hill, fresh off a “terrific” outing against the Yankees where he only allowed one earned run over 5 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts. That’s a tough matchup on paper!
Series Stakes: Taking It From Fenway
Going into this midweek finale, the Red Sox hadn’t exactly been dominating. Even after surrendering 17 runs in the first two games of the series, Boston still had a chance to take two of three from our Mariners. But you know our squad, they weren’t having any of it. The M’s fought hard, locking down that 9-6 final score and denying Boston their series victory. Taking two out of three on the road against any team, especially after the series started with so many runs given up, shows some serious early-season fight.
This 9-6 win in Boston, snatching the series at Fenway, is exactly the kind of gritty performance that shows what this team is made of. We needed this kind of statement to build momentum early in the season. Let’s go, M’s!
