great." And Jonathan Papelbon recovered from Thursday's blown save by notching No. 22 on the season. The Mariners showed one flicker of hope in that ninth, as Jack Wilson delivered a two-out double to right, bringing Ichiro Suzuki to the plate. But Ichiro wasn't up for long.

If it doesn't work, you maybe open yourself up. I don't care. We don't want him to beat us." Josh Wilson struck out swinging to end it. While there were dramatics on the Seattle side -- a heated dugout exchange ensued between Chone Figgins, Jose Lopez, and other Mariners after a botched relay throw led to an initial confrontation between Figgins and manager Don Wakamatsu -- the Red Sox went about the business of winning. Beckett did look a bit rusty in the first, which was not surprising given the layoff. He threw 26 pitches in the inning, but the Mariners scored just once, on a Jose Lopez RBI double to left.In the first inning, I was just a little methodical with things," said Beckett.

Boston had golden opportunities to pad the lead for the next couple of innings but couldn't do so. Mike Cameron led off the fifth with a double and moved to third on the relay miscue by left fielder Michael Saunders, but the Sox couldn't get him home. In the sixth, a Youkilis double put runners on second and third with one out, but David Ortiz was picked off third.
