George Kirby allowed just two hits and struck out eight in 6 2/3 innings, J.P. Crawford homered and the Seattle Mariners beat the Boston Red Sox 1-0 on Friday night.
Kirby opened his season with another deep start after a strong 2023. Last year, he lasted at least six innings in 23 of his 31 starts.
Crawford broke the tie in the sixth inning, with his shot down the right-field line just staying inside the pole. Kirby ran into trouble in the opening inning, uncharacteristically walking two of the first three batters and allowing a runner to advance to third on a wild pitch.
