Break up the Red Sox! Boston has been playing their best baseball of the season over the last week-plus, feasting on AL West competition. That carried over into Thursday’s series opener against the Mariners at Fenway, with Trevor Story taking center stage. Swinging a better bat over the last couple of weeks, he had his best game of the season here in this one, smashing a trio of homers and finishing with five runs and seven RBI. J.D. Martinez contributed a four-hit game while Tanner Houck came out of the bullpen and threw four dominant innings, all combining for a 9-5 win.
