Durbin’s solo home run adds insurance

Caleb Durbin’s solo shot supplied one of the defining moments, extending Boston’s lead and forcing the Mariners to chase the deficit. The home run came at a key juncture and helped shift momentum in Boston’s favor by adding an insurance run that the bullpen could protect. Durbin’s long ball was one of several highlight plays shown in the game recap released by Sportsnet. (sportsnet.ca)

Pitching and bullpen keep Mariners in check

Boston’s pitching staff combined to limit Seattle to two runs, a collective effort that included efficient work from the rotation and steady relief to finish the job. The Red Sox defense made routine plays behind the mound, helping to suppress rallies and strand baserunners at critical moments. That combination of pitching control and timely defense allowed Boston to maintain its margin after the offense supplied multiple scoring innings. (sportsnet.ca)
