SEATTLE \u2014 Ranger Suarez\u2019s chance at history Friday night started to feel real in the bottom of the seventh inning, on the 19th out of the requisite 27, when Ceddanne Rafaela raced in from deep center field to make a sliding catch of Julio Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s bloop, practically plucking the baseball off the grass.<\/span><\/p>\n

One pitch later, it was over. Josh Naylor lined a clean double to right-center, the Mariners\u2019 first hit of the night. Suarez would not throw a no-hitter \u2014 a reality he acknowledged with a downcast wave of his left hand as Naylor reached second base. Oh well.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Sox settled for a 6-2 win over Seattle, snapping a four-game losing streak, and Suarez settled for an excellent outing: 6\u2154 innings, no runs, and just that one hit.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He sandwiched Naylor\u2019s knock between a pair of walks, gifting the Mariners a two-out, bases-loaded opportunity and with it a chance to get back in the game. Instead of risking Suarez melting down, as he sometimes does with no warning amid dominance, interim manager Chad Tracy called on Justin Slaten.<\/span><\/p>\n
