Bogaerts blasts one out of Fenway, BoSox hold on to beat M’s
Xander Bogaerts hit a two-run homer all the way out of Fenway Park and added an RBI single as the Boston Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 6-5 on Friday night.
J.D. Martinez also homered for the Red Sox, who survived a late scare when Kyle Seager hit a three-run homer in the ninth to pull Seattle within a run.
One night after rallying with a four-run 10th inning for a 7-4 victory, Seattle couldn't quite pull off another comeback. Matt Barnes, who gave up Seager's drive deep to right, got Evan White to line out to Bogaerts and end it.
