Bruce hits first homer as Mariners batter Red Sox. MORE:
The Mariners have hit a home run in every game this season and continued to batter Red Sox starters, with Bruce helping to chase Eduardo Rodriguez in the fifth inning. Eight Seattle batters have hit 13 combined home runs, with nine coming against the defending World Series champions.
Boston scored three times in the ninth on three errors by third baseman Dylan Moore, all coming with two outs. With the tying run at third base after the third of Moore's errors, Nick Rumbelow struck out Xander Bogaerts looking as Seattle barely avoided a ninth-inning meltdown for the second straight night.
Boston manager Alex Cora had hoped Rodriquez could provide early help for his much-questioned bullpen with a goal of six or seven innings in the start. But the Mariners started hot with two runs in the first on RBI hits from Tim Beckham and Ryon Healy, both surging to start the season. Rodriquez reached 80 pitches in the fourth inning and was pulled after throwing 105 over 4 2/3 innings. He allowed eight hits, five earned runs, with five strikeouts and three walks.
