SEATTLE \u2014 Three thousand miles away, at the absolute other end of Interstate 90, the Red Sox fell into a familiar fate Sunday afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Read more Brady Tkachuk traded from Senators to Panthers, where he will team up with his brother Matthew (reports)<\/a><\/p>\n

They lost to the Mariners, 3-1, on a day when the offense couldn\u2019t gain any traction against righthander Logan Gilbert and the Seattle bullpen \u2014 a dud of a finale after the Sox had taken the first two games of the series.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the bigger picture of their disappointing season, they failed to convert another winnable game at a time when they can ill afford to do so. The Red Sox, 31-44, have not strung together more than three consecutive wins this season, and even that low bar they have not reached in a month.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sure, they won this series against the club leading an underwhelming American League West. But it\u2019s not clear that that is good enough \u2014 particularly when the sweep was available. Monday begins the six-week countdown to the Aug. 3 trade deadline.<\/span><\/p>\n
