A long night in Seattle turned into a desert, deprived of any hits or runs. The Red Sox could only manage an earned run on four hits in eight innings off of Mariners starter James Paxton. Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez kept the Mariners thirsty for runs as well, going 6.1 innings and allowed only three hits. Two of them were doubles in the bottom of the seventh, providing Seattle with a taste of run support. Boston’s third baseman Aaron Hill was responsible for the home run that tied the game.
