Red Sox Dominate Mariners in 14-7 Victory

In a commanding performance, the Boston Red Sox triumphed over the Seattle Mariners 14-7 on Monday night, highlighted by a powerful third inning where they scored seven runs. Wilyer Abreu initiated the scoring with an RBI single after a grueling 12-pitch at-bat, followed by Masataka Yoshida, who launched a two-run homer on the very next pitch. Yoshida's impressive night included three hits and four RBIs, while Dominic Smith and Romy Gonzalez also contributed with a solo homer and a pinch-hit two-run shot, respectively. The Red Sox showcased their offensive prowess with a season-high eight doubles, effectively dismantling Mariners' pitcher Logan Gilbert, who struggled to contain the Boston lineup, allowing seven runs in just 2 2/3 innings. The Mariners, who had entered the game on a three-game winning streak, saw their momentum halted despite solo homers from Randy Arozarena and Cal Raleigh. In a flurry of pre-trade deadline activity, the Mariners acquired veteran Justin Turner from Toronto, while the Red Sox traded for right-handed pitcher Quinn Priester from the Pittsburgh Pirates, sending minor league infielder/outfielder Nick Yorke in return. Priester, who has a 2-6 record and a 5.04 ERA, will be optioned to Triple-A Worcester. Looking ahead, the Red Sox are set to welcome back first baseman Triston Casas, who is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment, while the Mariners will start RHP Luis Castillo in the second game of the series.
