Red Sox Maul Mariners, 5 to 3


BOSTON: 2 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 - 5 6 1
SEATTLE: 0 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 - 3 6 0



The Boston Red Sox four-run barrier has been broken (by one run and without Youkilis)! With the same lineup as yesterday, it was a Red Sox homerun feast in Safeco Field against the Seattle Mariners. All of Boston's runs were scored on three longballs. The last time Boston had three homeruns in a game was precisely three weeks ago on Saturday 25 April at Fenway Park against the New York Yankees in a sixteen to eleven Red Sox win. Boston will play tomorrow in the rubber game of the three-game series and will look to leave Seattle with the series win. A rare event occurred today - all five teams in the AL East won their games. And even though the standings remain the same, congratulations to all members of this strong division!
