The Mariners didn't get going until late in their third game of the 1997 season. By then it was too late and they dropped a 10-5 decision to the Red Sox.
The Sox scored four times off Seattle starter Bob Wolcott in the very first inning. A Tim Naehring three run homer was the big shot.
Ken Griffey homered in the bottom of the first inning off Sox starting pitcher Aaaron Sele. But, Boston added three runs in the fourth inning to chase Wolcott. Wil Cordero homered to start the inning. Then, came a single. Then, a Darren Bragg home run and it was 7-1.
Seattle got to within 7-5 on a three-run homer by Edgar Martinez in the fifth and a run scored on an error by Nomar Garciaparra.
But, the Sox put the game away with three in the top of the ninth off Bobby Ayala, two of those runs scoring on a homer by Mike Stanley.
Alex Rodriguez was 1-for-5 with a run scored for the M's.
Box score and play-by-play are HERE.
