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.

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.

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.
