After totaling just nine runs in their previous eight games, Seattle needed 16 hits to put together five tallies Sunday, with Guillermo Heredia slugging a 401-foot homer over the Green Monster in the eighth and Robinson Cano cranking a two-run shot to center in the ninth to break the game open.
Rick Porcello, last year's American League Cy Young Award winner, allowed two runs on 11 hits over 6 1/3 innings as he fell to 3-6 with a 4.21 ERA. The Red Sox are 27-22 after completing a 5-1 homestand, while Seattle improved to 22-29 with just its ninth win in 29 road games.
