Seattle concede 15 straight loss
Red Sox thwarted Mariners 12-8 yesterday at the Fenway Park where the visitors conceded their 15th loss in a row to drop bottom in the West Conference. Boston, by contrast, cemented their leading position in the East with a four straight win which has propelled them three gamesback above Yankees.
Despite a promising start which saw Seattle take an early 2-0 lead, Boston replied with a five-point trot in the same first term not to allow the opponents to get any lead until the end. Olive opened the game with a 370-foot homerun, being followed by Ryan who doubled the lead in what seemed to be a good day for the Mariners. Red Sox broke back immediately through Ellsbury who cut the deficit after Gonzalez singled to center.
Furthermore, Youkilis fired a 396 footer to even the situation, while the same Gonzalez brought the first lead for Boston right afterwards. The first inning ended with Red Sox’s fifth point scored by Crawford, following Saltalamacchia’s singling to right. The next three innings went scoreless for both sides, while the fifth one saw them score six more points, five of which from the home side and one from the other.
Gutierrez cut the deficit to two points after Ryan doubled to left, but that could only trigger Boston’s six-point midway rally. Crawford singled to left as Gonzalez and Youkilis made it 7-3. Reddick then doubled to left for Ortiz’s eighth point, while Saltamacchia singled to center for Crawford and Reddick’s last fifth term points.
The sixth one brought the home side yet another point through Pedroia who made things look clear as possible after Gonzalez singled to right. Ryan hit a 361-foot homerun in the seventh, while Cust, Gutierrez and Suzuki put the visitors four points behind the eventual winners. Boston’s last reply came right afterwards through Reddick who made it 12-7.
As for mariners, their last consolation point came in the ninth term when Ackley doubled to left for Gutierrez’s last point of the meeting. Seattle have now dropped 1 gameback behind third Oakland in the West with a .426 percentage which features 43 wins and 58 defeats, the loss to Boston being their 31st on the road.
On the other side, Red Sox are first with a .626 record in the East, featuring 62 wins and 37 defeats, the win over Mariners being their fourth in a row and eighth in the past ten games. Said Ryan: “It seems like once again it’s Groundhog Day. This is definitely frustrating. There aren’t too many laughs now. There shouldn’t be.” Mariners’ manager Eric Wedge admitted the loss, claiming that “they’re a veteran hitting team. They obviously had a plan.”
Baltimore Orioles 3 – 9 Los Angeles Angels

Maybin scored the first point for San Diego in the first term after Headley singled to right, but that could only arouse Phillies’ upcoming run.
Victorino singled to center, allowing Utley to level the score with Howard getting to second. Ibanez then doubled to right as Howard made it 2-1 with Victorino getting to third.
