Trevor Story hit a two-run home run and Garrett Crochet pitched six innings of one-run ball as the Boston Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners 3-1 on Wednesday. Story went below the strike zone to get a hold of a sinker from Mariners starter Luis Castillo (4-5) in the fourth inning and deposited it beyond the wall in left-center field to break a 1-1 tie.

Facing one of the best pitchers in baseball, the Mariners followed up a Tuesday night breakout with a Wednesday afternoon dud, falling 3-1 to the Red Sox.

Crochet guided the Red Sox to a 3-1 win over the Mariners on Wednesday with six strong innings, which he views as the personal mandatory minimum. He scattered six hits, struck out eight, and walked none.
