Overview
- Ranger Suárez carried a no-hit bid into the seventh on Friday, finishing with 6 2/3 scoreless innings, one hit, five strikeouts and the victory.
- Caleb Durbin supplied early offense with a second-inning solo homer and finished 3-for-4, while Marcelo Mayer, who flew in after an illness, drove in three runs including a two-RBI single in the seventh.
- Seattle opened the game with a piggyback plan — Bryce Miller started and worked five strong innings — but Luis Castillo yielded a four-run seventh that broke the game open for Boston.
- The Red Sox scratched Isiah Kiner-Falefa about 35 minutes before first pitch with left forearm inflammation, Marcelo Mayer was added to the lineup, and Julio Rodríguez returned after a brief hamstring check.
- The win ended Boston’s four-game losing streak, gave Suárez his first victory since late April, and leaves Seattle’s experimental rotation approach under scrutiny while both teams manage injuries and momentum.
