An unlikely pitching duel (at least on one end) between Boston’s Franklin Morales and Seattle’s Felix Hernandez broke out Thursday night at Safeco Field with Hernandez and the Mariners prevailing 1-0.
A single to right field by Seattle’s John Jaso scored Casper Wells in the bottom of the ninth as catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia was unable to come up with the ball cleanly at the plate.
Hernandez struck out a whopping 13 Red Sox batters.
