Jeff Cirillo's two-run single broke a sixth-inning tie as the Seattle
Mariners won the opener of a weekend series between baseball's top
two teams, beating the Boston Red Sox 6-3.
Seattle (29-12) would pass Boston (27-11) with a win Saturday.
The Mariners overcame a 3-0 deficit on Ichiro Suzuki's two-run double

in 12 opportunities.
