Mariners 3, Red Sox 2 (11): Chone Figgins' sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 11th inning gave Seattle its second walk-off win over Boston in the last three games.

After Dustin Ackley and Miguel Olivo singled with one out against Alfredo Aceves (0-5), Figgins hit a line drive to right fielder Cody Ross, who just missed throwing out Ackley at the plate.

John Jaso, whose RBI single in the ninth inning gave the Mariners a 1-0 victory on Thursday, had a two-run double and Ichiro Suzuki had two hits for the Mariners.

Adrian Gonzalez had three hits to extend his hitting streak to 11 games and Ross had two hits for the Red Sox.

Seattle closer Tom Wilhelmsen pitched two scoreless innings of relief and worked out of a jam in the 10th inning after Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz led off with singles. Shawn Kelley (2-2) pitched a perfect 11th.

Boston’s Josh Beckett, making his first start since June 11 after spending time on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation, allowed two runs, four hits and walked three in six innings. He didn’t allow a hit until Olivo’s single with two outs in the fifth.

With one out in the sixth inning, Suzuki singled and stole second. After Casper Wells walked, Kyler Seager’s pop up down the left-field line fell between Daniel Nava and shortstop Mike Aviles to load the bases.

Jaso, who was 0-for-11 against Beckett, followed with a double off the base of the right-field wall to make it 2-0.

The Red Sox tied it 2-2 in the seventh inning when Will Middlebrooks scored on a passed ball after Ryan Kalish’s fielder’s choice grounder brought home Gonzalez.

Mariners starter Erasmo Ramirez left the game after retiring the first eight batters with pain in his right elbow.
