It was the second consecutive shutout for the Red Sox. This time it was Lucas Giolito doing the honors and going six innings, as Sox starters have thrown 19 scoreless innings over the last three games. The rotation has allowed one run in the last 29⅓ innings.
Walker Buehler will look to keep it going when he gets the start tonight. The Mariners will counter with Bryan Woo, who has pitched at least six innings in all 13 of his starts for the Mariners this season.
