Red Sox continue down losing road, drop series opener in Seattle to the Mariners

The first Raleigh homer, to right field, came in the second with the Sox leading by a run. Pivetta made it through the following four innings unscathed, but with one out in the seventh and the game still tied, Raleigh hooked a slider, also to right, to give the Mariners the lead. Seattle talked on four runs in the eighth against Pivetta and reliever Joe Jacques, who was just back from Triple A, to put the clamps on the Sox in what amounted to a 6-2 loss. Pivetta lasted 7⅓ innings and was charged with three runs on five hits.
