Ranger Suarez takes no-hitter into 7th inning as Red Sox top Mariners 6-2

Ranger Suarez delivered an impressive performance for the Boston Red Sox, taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning and leading his team to a 6-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Suarez, who struck out five and walked three over 6 2/3 innings, saw his no-hit bid end with Josh Naylor’s double. Caleb Durbin’s solo homer in the second inning set the tone for Boston, and Marcelo Mayer’s two-run single in the seventh extended their lead. Despite a late two-run homer by Seattle’s Julio Rodríguez, the Red Sox maintained control. Seattle’s Bryce Miller struck out seven in five innings, but Luis Castillo struggled in relief. The Red Sox and Mariners will face off again with Connelly Early and Emerson Hancock starting on Saturday.
