Price sharp, Xander excels as Sox top M’s

With a combination of power and command, David Price was marvelous on Thursday night at Safeco Field, leading the Red Sox to a 2-1 victory over the sizzling Seattle Mariners in the opener of a four-game series. Helping make the win possible was a strong, two-way performance from Xander Bogaerts. The shortstop smashed his 10th homer of the season — matching the total he had in 2017 — to snap a 1-1 tie with two outs in the sixth.
