SEATTLE -- The Red Sox never quit. Neither did the Mariners.
Richie Sexson put the Mariners ahead with a two-run home run in the sixth, and aided by its bullpen, Seattle beat Boston, 8-7, in front of 35,045 on Tuesday night at Safeco Field. The win was the Mariners' fourth straight, and their sixth in the last seven games.

Putz continues his dominance...the guy is virtually unhittable. He should definetly be on the All-star squad.

Putz struck out the side in the ninth for his 22nd save in as many chances, and his 68th career save, passing Norm Charlton for third on the Mariners' all-time saves list.

SEATTLE -- Jose Lopez knew his former teammate, Joel Pineiro, was going to throw him fastballs.
That knowledge translated into a sweep -- and a headache.

Lopez's double in the 11th inning Wednesday scored Ichiro Suzuki from first base, pushing Seattle past Boston, 2-1, in front of 43,448 fans at Safeco Field. The win completed a three-game sweep against the Red Sox and helped the Mariners cut the Angels' lead in the American League West to five games.

Seattle entered the 11th with very few pitchers available, and after Ichiro walked with one out, Lopez stepped to the plate against former Mariner Pineiro.

Lopez knew that with Ichiro on first, Pineiro would give him mostly fastballs. Noticing that Manny Ramirez was playing close to the left-field line, Lopez slammed a 1-0 pitch into the left-center-field gap, beyond Ramirez's reach.
