My Comment: On their sixth attempt, the Boston Red Sox have finally won an extra-inning game! And thankfully, it was not a drama-driven victory. The Red Sox leave Seattle winning two out of the four games. Considering the level of play by the Mariners, Boston should have swept them. Well, the Athletics are next on this road trip and perhaps Boston can sweep them.
