Well, Mariners fans, that was a tough one to swallow. We faced off against the Red Sox, and despite some promising moments, especially early on, the night came to a close with an 8-3 loss. So, let's break down what happened.

Our game started on a high note with Jorge Polanco launching a solo homer in the top of the first inning. Pure power!
This put us on the board at 1-0, sparking hope for another great game. However, the Sox quickly answered back, leaving us tied 1-1 by the end of the first.Defensive Struggles in Later Innings
Our offense had a chance to shine, with Cal Raleigh doubling in the third inning and J.P. Crawford delivering two RBIs in the sixth. Still, the Red Sox had answers each time, and costly mistakes, particularly a throwing error, widened the gap. A tough seventh inning saw us fall behind even more when the Sox's Triston Casas slammed a three-run homer, stretching our deficit.Missed Opportunities and Lessons Learned
We had our chances: Ben Williamson stepping in and getting on base, but our rallies were stifled. In the ninth, the Red Sox's pitcher closed out the game, halting any Mariners' dreams of a late-game miracle.
️There were highs, there were lows, but that's baseball. Let's keep rallying behind our boys, Mariners fans! Tomorrow is a new day, and we know our team has what it takes to bounce back strong!
