Paxton, Seager pace Seattle Mariners past Boston Red Sox<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\n

James Paxton allowed four singles over seven innings to win his fifth consecutive start in July and Kyle Seager homered to pace the Seattle Mariners to a 4-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paxton (10-3) retired the first 13 hitters before Jackie Bradley Jr.’s single to center with one out in the fifth. The left-hander, who worked out of trouble in the sixth and seventh innings, struck out 10 and walked none. Paxton has allowed six earned runs in 33 1\/3 innings and not given up a home run in five starts this month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nick Vincent and David Phelps each pitched a perfect inning to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eduardo Rodriguez (4-3) allowed four runs on six hits in 5 1\/3 innings. He struck out six and walked two in his second start since coming off the disabled list.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seager started a three-run second with his 14th home run, lining a 2-1 pitch over the wall in straightaway center to open the inning. With one out, Ben Gamel tripled into the right-field corner. Gamel scored on Guillermo Heredia’s fielder’s choice chopper to first, beating the throw home with a head-first slide. Heredia scored from first on Jean Segura’s double into the right-center gap.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seattle added a run in the fourth when Gamel singled, Segura was hit by a pitch and Danny Valencia doubled.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the sixth, Brock Holt reached with one out on a throwing error by first baseman Valencia. Mookie Betts singled Holt to second, but Paxton struck out Andrew Benintendi and Dustin Pedroia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hanley Ramirez and Bradley opened the seventh with consecutive singles, but Paxton struck out Chris Young and enticed Deven Marrero into a double-play grounder to short.<\/span><\/p>\n

TRAINER’S ROOM:<\/span><\/p>\n

Red Sox: SS Xander Bogaerts was scratched with an illness, although it was not related to the hand injury he suffered last week. Marrero started.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mariners: CF Jarrod Dyson was out again with a toe injury sustained when he crashed into the wall Sunday. He is day-to-day.<\/span><\/p>\n

RED SOX MOVES<\/span><\/p>\n

Boston called up top prospect Rafael Devers from Triple-A Pawtucket. The 20-year-old Devers began the season at Double-A Portland, hitting .300 with 18 homers and 56 RBIs in 77 games. He played just nine games at Portland, hitting .400 with two homers. . RHP Kyle Martin was optioned to Pawtucket. . LHP Robbie Ross Jr. (left elbow inflammation) was transferred to the 60-day DL.<\/span><\/p>\n

MARINERS MOVES<\/span><\/p>\n

Seattle signed veteran INF Danny Espinosa, who was released last week by the Los Angeles Angels. Espinosa hit .209 with a career-high 24 homers in 2016 with Washington, but hit just .162 in 77 games with the Angels. He will be used in a utility role. . RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (right shoulder inflammation) was transferred to the 60-day DL. … INF Taylor Motter was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma following Sunday’s game.<\/span><\/p>\n

UPON FURTHER REVIEW<\/span><\/p>\n

Segura was hit in the foot by a pitch with two outs in the fourth. The Red Sox challenged, but the call on the field was upheld after a review of 1 minute, 10 second.<\/span><\/p>\n

UP NEXT:<\/span><\/p>\n

Red Sox: LHP Drew Pomeranz (10-4, 3.51) has won four consecutive decisions over his last five starts, posting a 2.12 ERA over that span. Devers is expected to debut at 3B.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mariners: RHP Felix Hernandez (5-4, 3.88) is 3-2 with a 3.25 ERA in six starts since coming off the DL (right shoulder inflammation). He is 5-2 in nine starts vs. Boston at Safeco Field.<\/span><\/p>\n
