Red Sox Beat Mariners, Move Into Wild Card Spot

The Boston Red Sox defeated the Seattle Mariners 2-0 on Monday, led by top prospect Roman Anthony's first major league home run in just his seventh MLB game and a dominant, 10-strikeout outing by Lucas Giolito over six scoreless innings. Anthony homered off Mariners starter Logan Gilbert, who struck out 10 in his first start back from the injured list. Jarren Duran tripled and scored on Abraham Toro's single for the second run. The Red Sox bullpen, with Aroldis Chapman striking out the side in the ninth for his 13th save, completed a combined four-hitter. This victory marked Boston's first game after trading away franchise cornerstone Rafael Devers and extended their starters' streak to 19 consecutive scoreless innings. The win also moved Boston into the final American League Wild Card spot and underscored the growing impact of the team's younger players.
