The home run barrage continued Friday night at T-Mobile Park — but not exactly in favor of the Seattle Mariners.
Mallex Smith, Domingo Santana, and Omar Narvaez each hit solo shots in the first three innings as the Mariners again leaned on an explosive offense to build an early lead.
But, the Boston Red Sox hit three dingers of their own — including a three-run game-winner by pinch hitter Mitch Moreland in the bottom of the ninth — to hand the Mariners their first loss of the season, 7-6, in front of 29,002 in attendance.
The Mariners have combined for 12 home runs in their first four games, and still hold the best record in baseball at 3-1, but Friday night’s high-powered show wasn’t quite enough.
