Haniger wakes up Mariners in extra innings to beat Boston

Mitch Haniger commands the victory of Seattle.

Haniger, who walked two, came in in the 10th and hit his home run through right field. and the central, to reach five homers in the season.

Haggerty doubled on his only turn, after entering the game as a pinch-runner in the eighth inning. He leveled the score at 3 when he scored on a shot error, one inning after Boston had regained a one-run lead.

The dominican Rafael Devers hit a home run for Boston, which was riding easy thanks to Pivetta but was unable to preserve a 2-0, 3-2 lead.

The victory went to the Dominican Rafael Montero (2-0), who resolved the ninth inning blank.
