Red Sox Give up Late Lead
After Sandy Leon gave the Red Sox a 5-4 lead in the top of the 13th inning, the Red Sox and pitcher Doug Fister were one strike away from closing the game.
With two outs and a man on third, Fister threw a wild pitch that got by Sandy Leon scoring Ben Gamel from third base to tie the game. Guillermo Heredia moved to third base on the play.
Seattle's next better Jean Segura hit an infield single up the middle that Xander Bogaerts could not make a play on to score Heredia and win the game.
The Red Sox had a 4-3 lead after the sixth inning before the Mariners tied it in the 7th on a home run by Mike Zunino.
