SEATTLE -- One day removed from a costly error in a Red Sox loss,
The win put Boston in a virtual tie with the Yankees and Blue Jays in the American League Wild Card standings. The Red Sox are 82-65; New York and Toronto are both 81-64. Boston gained a game on Seattle (78-67) and Oakland (77-67).\n\n
Schwarber shook off an 0-for-16 streak over his past five games and came through.\n\n“The 0-for-whatever, obviously they’re tough times there,” said Schwarber, “but you just got to be able to trust your process in the cage. Trust your process on the field and batting practice and things like that for when you get into a spot like that. \n\n“Those are spots you want to be in as a baseball player -- and want to be able to come through for your team.”\n\n
Starting pitcher
The Red Sox have won six of the past seven games the right-hander has started, yet he has been credited with only one win over that stretch.\n\n“We’re 6-1 as a team, and that’s all that matters to me,” said Eovaldi, who is 10-8 overall with 3.52 ERA over 29 starts. “The wins come and go. They’re not as valued as they once were. It’s tougher to lock it down for an entire game.”\n\nBoston had some trouble closing out the Mariners as it surrendered two unearned runs in the bottom of the ninth. But left-hander Austin Davis struck out Kyle Seager to shut down any comeback hopes.
