BOSTON (AP) - Chris Woodward's bases-loaded pop up in the ninth
inning dropped behind a partially draw-in infield to score the
go-ahead run and lift the Seattle Mariners to a 3-2 win over the
Boston Red Sox on Saturday.

Jason Varitek hit a two-run homer for Boston, which also lost
Friday's series opener. The Red Sox had won their previous seven
series overall. It was just their third series loss in their last
12 in Fenway Park.

Russell Branyan drove in the other two runs for the Mariners.

Seattle capitalized on Takashi Saito's wildness for the winning
rally. Saito (2-2) walked the bases loaded with one out before
Woodward's pop fell behind first baseman Mark Kotsay and second
baseman Dustin Pedroia's diving bid, scoring pinch runner Wladimir
Balentien from third easily.
