The Red Sox (19-19) look to push above the .500 mark for the first time all season with a win against a Mariners (20-20) team headed in the opposite direction and a long way from home for tonight’s 7:10 p.m. game.
The M’s have won only two games in the last two weeks or so, though they won both of those by scoring 10 runs. Briefly on top of the world, they’re headed back down toward the cellar while they bring their own youngsters into the majors; Shed Long, one of the two main prospects arriving in the Robinson Cano network of deals, has been promoted for tonight’s game.
