Seattle stings Price, stuns Sox in 5-run 8th
Robinson Cano gives the Mariners a 5-4 lead with a three-run home run to right-center field in the bottom of the 8th inningMike Zunino created momentum with a solo homer to left. Price gave up four straight hits to start the inning before walking off the mound with a 4-2 lead. Matt Barnes came on in relief and struck out Seth Smith.
Red Sox manager John Farrell then went to Abad, who was acquired just one day earlier from the Twins. Cano belted the fifth pitch of the at-bat -- a curveball -- high and deep to right for a three-run shot that had a projected distance of 398 feet, according to Statcast™.
