 SEATTLE (AP) - The Boston Red Sox aren't actually out of the AL East race. It only looked like it. No music blaring in the clubhouse late Friday night. The TV wasn't on. Manny Ramirez and his right knee were in a bulbous wrap. Gabe Kapler had wraps around his lower back and left ankle. Mark Loretta dragged his left leg, wrapped thigh to foot, across the clubhouse. And David Ortiz wondered why his team couldn't beat Jake Woods.
Woods and two relievers combined on a five-hit shutout in the lowly Mariners' 6-0 win over Curt Schilling and the sinking Red Sox on Friday.
The Mariners won for the third time in four games since ending a franchise-worst road trip 0-11. Their last two victories have come against fellow 14-game winners Randy Johnson and now Schilling.
