Woo Shines as Mariners Edge Red Sox, Capture Fifth Straight Series Victory
The Seattle Mariners wrapped up a successful road trip in thrilling fashion on Thursday, edging the Boston Red Sox 4-3 at Fenway Park. Powered by a gritty performance from Bryan Woo and timely offense, Seattle secured its fifth consecutive series win — continuing an impressive surge that’s quickly turning heads around the league.
After dropping the series opener, the Mariners bounced back yet again — a trend that defined their three-city road swing through Cincinnati, Toronto, and Boston. In each of those matchups, Seattle responded to a Game 1 loss with back-to-back wins, showcasing resilience, depth, and a knack for clutch play.
Now sitting at 14-11, the Mariners have won 10 of their last 13 games and will ride that momentum home as they prepare to face the Miami Marlins in a weekend series at T-Mobile Park.
The tone was set early on Thursday against Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet, the former White Sox All-Star who arrived in Boston via a high-profile offseason trade. With two outs in the first inning, Seattle made Crochet work. Randy Arozarena battled back from an 0-2 count to draw a tough nine-pitch walk, followed by Mitch Garver ripping a two-run double off the Green Monster to give the Mariners an early lead.
Seattle’s offense kept the pressure on in the second. Singles from Ben Williamson and J.P. Crawford, along with a walk by Leo Rivas, loaded the bases with no outs. Dylan Moore drove in a run with a sac fly, and Julio Rodríguez added another with a groundout, making it a 4-1 game before the Red Sox could catch their breath.
Meanwhile, Bryan Woo continued to impress on the mound. Aside from two run-scoring hits by Boston’s Alex Bregman — including a solo homer — Woo was dominant. Over six innings, he scattered three hits, walked one, and struck out eight, pushing his season ERA down to 3.09. He now has four quality starts in five outings and sports a WHIP of 0.97 with 30 strikeouts across 32 innings.
With pitching clicking and the offense heating up, Seattle is beginning to look like a team ready to make serious noise in the AL West. Five series wins in a row — and counting.
