SEATTLE — Ichiro Suzuki hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning and connected twice overall, and the Seattle Mariners rallied from four runs down to beat the Boston Red Sox, playing without a benched David Ortiz, 5-4 last night in Seattle.
Suzuki hit a solo shot for Seattle’s first run in the fifth, then sent a 3-1 fastball from Jon Lester into the first row of seats beyond right field for his fourth two-homer game and first since July 30, 2005.
Ortiz was benched indefinitely a day after he went 0-for-7 and stranded 12 base runners in an extra-inning loss at the Los Angeles Angels.
