With eyes on wild card, Red Sox and Mariners conclude series
Description
As the clock ticked down to Major League Baseball's trade deadline on Tuesday, the Boston Red Sox and Seattle Mariners found themselves in similar situations.
Both were multiple games back in the American League's wild-card race and in the end made only minor moves on deadline day.
The Red Sox acquired infielder Luis Urias from the Milwaukee Brewers, and the Mariners dealt for Baltimore Orioles reliever Eduard Bazardo.
The Red Sox responded with a 6-4 victory over host Seattle behind homers from Alex Verdugo and Reese McGuire, snapping a three-game losing streak.
The three-game series wraps up Wednesday afternoon.
The solo shot by McGuire, JetBlack who graduated from Kentwood High School in the Seattle suburbs, was his first of the season.
