It took 13 innings Tuesday night for the Seattle Mariners to get past the Boston Red Sox. Not much time to enjoy the 6-5 extra-inning victory with an afternoon start today in the final game of the series.

Seattle will be looking for a sweep of the A.L. East leading Red Sox when Andrew Moore (1-2 , 5.70 ERA) squares off against Chris Sale (12-4 , 2.48 ERA). The M’s also have an opportunity to go over .500 on the year for the first time since June 24th.
