Game 3: Boston Red Sox vs. Seattle Mariners
A different day but same result; a loss. Despite getting runners on base, the visitors just could not score runs to keep things competitive. The end result was the Seattle Mariners (3-0) topping the Boston Red Sox (0-3) by a 4 to 1 score.
Seattle ace George Kirby (1-0) scattered 9 hits and plunked one batter in 8-innings of work on his way to allowing 1 earned run while striking out 6 in his 117-pitch outing; Game Score 66. Closer Andres Munoz (SV 2) closed things out by striking out the 3 batters that he faced. The Mariners' bats were powered by Jorge Polanco (3 for 3, Run, 2 RBI, Hit-by-Pitch), J.P. Crawford (1 for 2, 2 Runs, RBI, 2 Walks), and Cal Raleigh (2 for 4, Run).
Taking the loss was Garrett Whitlock (0-1) who allowed 4 earned runs on 10 hits, 2 walks, and 1 hit batsman, striking out 8, in 6 2/3 innings of play; Game Score 44. Justin Slaten covered the final 1 1/3 innings of scoreless/hitless ball in which he struck out 3 and walked 1. Boston's offense was led by Tristan Casas (3 for 4, Double) and Tommy Edman (2 for 4).
Player of the Game: George Kirby
