SEATTLE (Interstat) — Ranger Suarez pitched 6 2/3 innings of one-hit ball and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Seattle Mariners 6-2 on Friday night at T-Mobile Park, snapping a three-game losing streak and handing Seattle its second loss in three games.

Suarez, who entered the game with a 2-3 record, allowed only one hit while striking out five and walking none. He did not allow an earned run and faced the minimum through five innings. The left-hander retired the first 10 batters he faced before walking Cal Raleigh with two outs in the fourth. Suarez then struck out Julio Rodriguez to end the inning. He departed after 6 2/3 innings with a 5-0 lead, having thrown 82 pitches. Greg Weissert and Justin Slaten combined for 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, with Weissert striking out one and Slaten fanning one.

The Red Sox took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Caleb Durbin hit a solo home run to left-center field off Mariners starter Bryce Miller. Durbin’s fifth homer of the season came on a 1-2 fastball that he drove an estimated 406 feet. Miller worked through five innings, allowing three hits and one earned run while striking out seven. He walked none and threw 67 pitches in a strong outing spoiled by Seattle’s inability to generate offense.

Boston broke the game open with a four-run seventh inning against reliever Luis Castillo. Ceddanne Rafaela led off with a double to right-center field, his 17th two-bagger of the year. After Wilyer Abreu lined out to center, Willson Contreras singled to right and Jarren Duran singled to left, loading the bases. Durbin then hit a ground-ball single to left that scored Contreras and kept the bases loaded. Marcelo Mayer followed with a ground-ball single to right that scored Duran and Durbin, with Durbin reaching third and Mayer taking second on a throwing error by right fielder Dominic Canzone. Carlos Narvaez then lifted a sacrifice fly to center field, scoring Durbin for a 5-0 Boston lead.

Miller was charged with the loss, falling to 3-1 on the season. Castillo, who replaced Miller to start the sixth, allowed four earned runs on seven hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out four.

Seattle’s offense managed only two hits in the game, both coming in the seventh and ninth innings. Josh Naylor doubled with one out in the seventh, but the Mariners left runners on second and third when Suarez struck out J.P. Crawford to end the inning. In the ninth, Tommy Kahnle walked Raleigh to start the inning, and Rodriguez followed with a two-run homer to center field, his 14th of the season. Kahnle allowed two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out one. Naylor grounded out, Canzone struck out and Cole Young popped out to end the game.

Boston’s offense totaled 10 hits. Durbin went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, a single and one RBI. Mayer finished 2 for 4 with three RBIs, including a run-scoring double in the ninth inning that extended the lead to 6-0. Rafaela added a double and a single, and Duran had two singles. The Red Sox went 4 for 11 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base.

Seattle’s only hits were Naylor’s double and Rodriguez’s homer. The Mariners struck out 11 times and drew three walks, two by Raleigh and one by Young.

The game lasted 2 hours, 23 minutes in front of an announced crowd of 45,775.

Boston improved to 30-43 with the victory, while Seattle fell to 39-38. The Red Sox had lost four of their previous five games before Friday, including a three-game sweep at home against the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this week. The Mariners had beaten the Baltimore Orioles 3-0 on Thursday to salvage a split of their four-game series.

Suarez’s performance marked his second strong outing in a row. In his previous start on June 13 against the Texas Rangers, he earned a win by allowing two earned runs over five innings with seven strikeouts. On June 7 at Yankee Stadium, he took a loss despite allowing only one earned run over 6 1/3 innings.

The Red Sox will continue their road trip with the second game of this three-game series Saturday afternoon at T-Mobile Park. Boston then travels to Colorado for three games against the Rockies before returning home to host the New York Yankees for four games and the Washington Nationals for a three-game set. The Mariners will host the Red Sox again Saturday and Sunday before embarking on a three-city road trip to Pittsburgh, Cleveland and back home for a six-game homestand against the Los Angeles Angels.
