Mariners defeat Red Sox 8-3 in series finale at Fenway Park

The Boston Red Sox lost 8-3 to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday, dropping the series finale at Fenway Park. Despite recording 12 hits, Boston struggled to convert baserunners into runs and left eight men on base throughout the contest. Seattle secured the win by capitalizing on two four-run innings, aided by defensive errors from the Red Sox in the fourth. Starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval took the loss after surrendering four runs in four innings, while Brayan Bello struggled in relief during the sixth. Roman Anthony provided a bright spot for Boston with three hits, including a solo home run, but the team has now lost six of its last eight games. Boston remains in a playoff position but currently sits nine games behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East as they prepare for a four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles.
