Mariners squeak past Red Sox in 11

Baseball Betting Lines

07/03/2009 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rob Johnson went 3-for-5 with three doubles, including a two-run double in the top of the 11th, to lift the Seattle Mariners past the AL East-leading Boston Red Sox, 7-6, in the opener of a three-game set at Fenway Park.

Ramon Ramirez (5-3), who took over on the mound for Boston in the top of the 11th, gave up a single to Franklin Gutierrez and walked Ryan Langerhans to put men on first and second. Chris Woodward moved the runners up a base with a sacrifice bunt. Johnson then stepped to the plate and laced the eventual game- winning hit down the right-field line.

Mark Lowe came on for the M's in the bottom half and made things interesting when he gave up a two-out solo homer to George Kottaras -- the first of his career. J.D. Drew then singled to right, but Lowe got Dustin Pedroia to ground into a fielder's choice to pick up his first save of the season.

Ronny Cedeno went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run for the Mariners, who have won four of six. Jose Lopez went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and a double for Seattle, which improved to 4-3 on a nine-game road trip. Langerhans had a pair of doubles and scored twice.

Felix Hernandez was strong in seven frames, remaining unbeaten in his last eight starts, allowing three runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts and two walks to take the no-decision for the Mariners. Chris Jakubauskas (5-5) tossed a scoreless ninth and 10th to collect the win.

Nick Green had a pair of doubles, including a two-run hit in the bottom of the eighth to tie the tilt, for the Red Sox, who have alternated wins and losses in their last six games. Drew added a solo homer for Boston, which started a 10-game homestand on Friday.

Tim Wakefield went eight frames, giving up five runs on 10 hits with three strikeouts to take the no-decision for the Red Sox. Wakefield made the 383rd start of his Boston career on Friday, passing Roger Clemens for the most in club history.

Ahead, 5-3, the M's sent Sean White to the mound to begin the bottom of the eighth, but he quickly ran into trouble. After getting David Ortiz to fly out, White walked Jason Bay and gave up a single to Mark Kotsay to put men on first and second. Shawn Kelley, who was activated from the 15-day DL on Friday, then took over on the bump and got Jacoby Ellsbury to fly out, but Green stepped to the plate and stroked a two-run double off the top of the Green Monster to tie the contest at five.

Manny Delcarmen retired Seattle in order in the top of the ninth, while Jakubauskas retired the Red Sox 1-2-3 in the bottom of the inning to send the game into extra frames.

The Red Sox drew first blood with a pair of runs in the first inning. Pedroia singled, and Ortiz walked to put men on first and second with two outs. Bay then stroked an RBI ground-rule double to right field. With Kotsay batting, Ortiz crossed the plate on a wild pitch from Hernandez for an early two-run cushion.

Seattle scored a run in the third to cut the deficit in half. Johnson doubled off the Green Monster, advanced to third on Ichiro Suzuki's single and scored on Russell Branyan's single to right.

The Mariners plated three runs in the fourth to take a 4-2 lead. Langerhans started things with a one-out double to center and scored two batters later when Johnson doubled off the Green Monster. Cedeno then stepped to the plate and drove a Wakefield offering over the wall in center.

Boston put men on second and third with two outs in the sixth, but Hernandez struck out Green looking to end the threat.

Drew's solo shot to center in the seventh brought the Red Sox within one, 4-3, but Lopez started the eighth with a homer over the Green Monster to restore Seattle's two run lead.

Game Notes

To make room on the roster for Kelley, the Mariners optioned infielder Mike Carp to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday...Seattle won two of three games from the Red Sox at Safeco Field from May 15-17 but are just 6-17 over their last 23 visits to Fenway Park. Seattle has not taken a series in Boston since winning two of three tests from August 14-16, 2001...Boston owns a league-best 35-11 mark at home this year.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
