Marcelo Mayer led off the 5th with a single off winning pitcher Bryan Woo and Nate Eaton had a leadoff single in the 9th.

Adding to the Pen: The Red Sox pulled off a trade with the Twins last Wednesday, acquiring reliever Jorge Alcala in exchange for minor league infielder Andy Lugo.  Alcala still has not made his Red Sox debut. Lugo was playing for Advanced-A Greenville this season. Alcala, 29, has pitched in relief throughout his 7 seasons in the Big Leagues, all with the Twins.  Brian Van Belle was designated for assignment after he was added to both the 40-man and active rosters on Tuesday. The Red Sox traded Van Belle to the Reds for cash considerations on Saturday and he was optioned to Triple-A.

What's On Tap?: The Red Sox conclude their series with the Mariners Wednesday afternoon in Seattle. Garrett Crochet will take the mound in the finale looking for his 7th win of the season. Luis Castillo is scheduled to start for the Mariners.  After an off day on Thursday, the Red Sox open up a 3-game series against Rafael Devers and the Giants Friday night in San Francisco.  The longest road trip of the season wraps up with 3 in Anaheim against the Angels starting next Monday.
