What happened: Wilyer Abreu delivered the go-ahead hit to put the Boston Red Sox in front in Seattle. Boston held on from there to win 6-2 in the final.

Why it matters: The result lifts a scuffling Boston club that had been stuck near the bottom of its standings, giving the offense something to build on. For Seattle, owners of one of the better records in the league, the loss snaps the momentum of a strong stretch.

By the numbers: Boston came in at 7-13 on the season, averaging 4.8 runs per game while allowing 4.5. Seattle entered at 13-6, scoring 4.6 and allowing 3.6, but dropped this one 6-2 after a 6-2 final at home.

What to watch: Watch whether Boston can string together back-to-back wins to climb the standings, while Seattle looks to rebound in its next game.
