The Seattle Mariners traveled to Boston and handled business, beating the Red Sox 8-3 on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, at Fenway Park. J.P. Crawford went 3-for-3, Jhonny Pereda drove in two runs, and Seattle's offense pounded five Boston pitchers for eight runs — a comfortable five-run cushion that was never in doubt after the middle innings.

Mariners Offense Distributes the Damage Across the Lineup

Seattle got contributions up and down the order. Crawford was efficient, going 3-for-3 in three at-bats. Julio Rodríguez added a 2-for-5 performance with an RBI, and Weston Wilson chipped in with two hits in four at-bats. Pereda delivered the most run production among Seattle's hitters, going 2-for-3 with two RBI in three at-bats — timely hitting that extended the margin.

  • J.P. Crawford: 3-for-3, 3 AB
  • Jhonny Pereda: 2-for-3, 2 RBI
  • Julio Rodríguez: 2-for-5, 1 RBI
  • Weston Wilson: 2-for-4

Boston wasn't without its own bright spots. Roman Anthony went 3-for-5 with a home run and an RBI, and Wilyer Abreu added three hits of his own in four at-bats.

Boston Pitching Struggles as Runs Pile Up

Patrick Sandoval took the loss for Boston, giving up three earned runs on five hits and three walks across just four innings. His early exit forced the Red Sox bullpen into action, and Brayan Bello provided no relief — allowing seven hits and four earned runs in three innings of work. By the time Raymond Burgos came on to close things out with two scoreless innings and three strikeouts, the damage was already done.

The Mariners cycled through five pitchers of their own. Bryce Miller started and went 4.2 innings, allowing one earned run on seven hits with three strikeouts. Seven hits is a lot of contact to surrender, but Miller limited the damage to one earned run across 4.2 innings — exactly the kind of length-over-dominance start a road team needs when the offense is rolling. Michael Rucker allowed two earned runs across two innings as part of the middle relief effort. Cooper Criswell got the final inning and picked up the win, tossing a clean frame with a strikeout.

Turning Point: Bello's Three-Inning Stretch Allows Four Earned Runs

Bello's three-inning stretch — seven hits, four earned runs, zero strikeouts — is where the box score shows the margin expanding most sharply. Seattle posted eight runs total against a Boston staff that cycled through five pitchers, and the Mariners held a five-run advantage by the final out.

What's Next for Seattle

The Mariners pick up a quality road win in September — the kind of statement performance that matters when every game counts in the regular-season stretch run. Four Mariners batters recorded multiple hits — Crawford (3-for-3), Pereda (2-for-3), Rodríguez (2-for-5), and Wilson (2-for-4) — with run production distributed across the order. Seattle will look to carry that offensive output into their next game.
