Bryan Woo shuts down Boston, helps Mariners close road trip with 4-3 win over Red Sox

BOSTON (AP) — Bryan Woo scattered three hits over six innings, and the Seattle Mariners tagged Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet for four runs in the first two innings on Thursday to beat Boston 4-3 and win the three-game series.

Leo Rivas and J.P. Crawford each had a pair of hits for the Mariners, who have won 10 of their last 13 games. Woo (3-1) struck out eight while allowing two runs and one walk. Randy Arozarena had three walks.

Mitch Garver drove in a pair of runs with a first-inning double off the center-field edge of the Green Monster. Seattle loaded the bases with nobody out in the second on two singles and a walk, then scored a pair on a sacrifice fly by Dylan Moore and a groundout by Julio Rodriguez.

Crochet (2-2) allowed four runs on five hits, five walks and a balk, striking out nine in five innings. Alex Bregman had two hits, including a solo homer, for Boston. Carlos Narváez hit a solo shot off the Pesky Pole in the eighth to cut Seattle’s lead to 4-3.

Andrés Muñoz pitched the ninth for his ninth save, finishing on a strikeout that sent Kristian Campbell's bat spinning toward shortstop.

After Narváez made it a one-run game, Gabe Speier got Jarren Duran on a grounder to second, then struck out Rafael Devers before Trent Thornton came on and got Bregman to hit a high popup behind second base.

Rivas went back to center field and got spun around but made the catch, stabbing at the ball to grab it at about waist level.

Crochet had career highs with five walks and 100 pitches. He had allowed one run and struck out 18 in 13 1/3 innings combined over his previous two starts.

Mariners: Return home to host the Miami Marlins in a three-game series. Right-hander Logan Gilbert (1-1, 2.63 ERA) will face righty Cal Quantrill (1-2, 8.31) in the opener.

Red Sox: Begin a three-game series in Cleveland, with RHP Tanner Houck (0-2, 7.66) facing Guardians RHP Ben Lively (1-2, 3.86).

A Ukrainian drone strike killed one person and wounded three others in the Russian city of Voronezh, local officials said Sunday.

A young woman died overnight in a hospital intensive care unit after debris from a drone fell on a house during the attack on Saturday, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said on Telegram.

Three other people were wounded and more than 10 apartment buildings, private houses and a high school were damaged, he said, adding that air defenses shot down 17 drones over Voronezh. The city is home to just over 1 million people and lies some 250 kilometers (155 miles) from the Ukrainian border.

The attack came the day after Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles overnight into Friday, killing at least four people in the capital Kyiv, according to Ukrainian officials.

For only the second time in the nearly four-year war, Russia used a powerful new hypersonic missile that struck western Ukraine in a clear warning to Kyiv and NATO.

The intense barrage and the launch of the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile followed reports of major progress in talks between Ukraine and its allies on how to defend the country from further aggression by Moscow if a U.S.-led peace deal is struck.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday in his nightly address that Ukrainian negotiators “continue to communicate with the American side.”

Chief negotiator Rustem Umerov was in contact with U.S. partners Saturday, he said.

Separately, Ukraine’s General Staff said Russia targeted Ukraine with 154 drones overnight into Sunday and 125 were shot down.
