The Mariners are looking to get revenge against the Red Sox tonight after falling in yesterday’s series opener.
Boston reeling off seven runs against Logan Gilbert in the third inning to get him out of the game early.
They followed up with seven more runs over the next three innings to post the most runs scored on the Mariners all season.
Recent-addition Randy Arozarena hit his first home run with Seattle and Cal Raleigh added his 23rd of the season in the loss.
It snapped their three-game winning streak, but a loss by Houston kept them tied for first-place in the AL West.

He’s currently batting .257 with six home runs and 31 RBIs, though his .351 on-base-percentage would rank second of any regular starter in Seattle.
Schreck, meanwhile, is the 29th-ranked prospect in the Mariners’ farm system.
The M’s also dealt an unranked pitching prospect to the Marlins today for right-handed reliever JT Chargois, who returns to Seattle after spending some time with the team in 2021.
