| The Red Sox are the comeback kids in this one, coming back first from a 3-0 deficit and then winning the game in the bottom of the 9th after being down by a run. Daisuke Matsuzaka was ok in his first home start, pitching 6 innings and allowing 3 runs. In the battle of Japanese superstars, Ichiro went 0 for 3 against Dice-K, although he did reach base in the 6th on a fielders choice. He was erased from the basepaths when he was caught stealing. The Mariners broke a 3-3 tie in the 8th with a Jose Guillen triple and a Kenji Johjima sac fly off Brendan Donnelly. The Sox failed to score in the bottom of the 8th but got a leadoff single in the 9th from Wily Mo Pena. Mike Lowell hit a deep fly to left that was caught, but then Jason Varitek hit a fly so deep that only a fan would be able to catch it. It is Varitek's 3rd homer of the season so far. The Mariners are the only winless team in the majors at 0-5, although they (and the Indians) have played 3 less games than everyone else due to a series that was wiped out by snow in Cleveland. |

With the crowd on their collective feet, screaming at the top of their lungs,
Boston Red Sox rallied to top Seattle Mariners by the score of 5 to
4.
Boston won the game with a rally in the bottom of the 9th inning scoring 2
runs utilizing 2 base hits. Wily Mo Pena got things going when he lined a
base-hit. After an out was recorded, Jason Varitek stepped up to the plate
and he bombed a two-run dinger (his 3rd of the season) making Boston
victorious to the delight of the the home town crowd. Boston won despite
being out-hit by Seattle 11 hits to 8.
Mike Timlin(1-0) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the victory. J.J.
Putz(0-1) was the losing pitcher in relief. 'What a win!', Timlin said.
'These are the kind of games that stand out in your mind at the end of a
season.'
