Dylan Moore had an RBI single, while Josh Rojas hit a home run for Seattle.

Devers led off the bottom of the tenth inning, and Tyler O’Neill was the automatic runner at second. Pitching to the left-handed hitting Devers, with an open base at first and left-hander Jonathan Díaz on the mound, was the manager Scott Servais of Seattle’s decision, and the All-Star slugger made the Mariners pay.

Devers blasted a 2-0 slider from Díaz (0-1) off the lower part of the Green Monster in left-center, and the ball sailed past Seattle’s outfielders, making O’Neill’s score simple.

It was Devers’s first game-ending hit since June 14, 2021, and Boston’s fourth walk-off victory of the season.

In the first half, Kelly threw a wild pitch that let Cal Raleigh, the automatic runner, advance to third base with no outs. However, the right-hander kept Raleigh trapped at third by striking out Justin Turner, a rookie for the Mariners, and retiring Leo Rivas on a ground ball.

Mitch Garver grounded out to end the inning after Moore walked to load the bases following a pitch that struck Luke Raley.
