Beckett wins 14th as Red Sox cruise past Mariners

<h3>BOSTON 9, SEATTLE 2</h3>SEATTLE (Ticker) -- Josh Beckett loves being on theroad.


Beckett improved to 7-1 away from Fenway Park this season onSunday as the Boston Red Sox beat the Seattle Mariners, 9-2.

The win was Beckett's 14th of the season as he joins C.C.Sabathia of the Cleveland Indians and Carlos Zambrano of theChicago Cubs for the major league lead.


After losing back-to-back starts for the first time sinceSeptember of 2006, Beckett (14-5) surrendered just one run over6 2/3 innings. The righthander struck out nine and walked two.

The Red Sox got all the runs they needed in the top of the firstinning due to some shoddy defense by center fielder Adam Jones.

Jones dropped a Manny Ramirez fly ball in center field, platingCrisp, who led off the game with a double down the right fieldline.


The Red Sox tacked on another run in the inning when Marinersstarter Miguel Batista (11-8) walked Jason Varitek with thebases loaded. The run was Boston's league-leading 18th runwalked in this season.


Batista, who leads the Mariners in wins this season, gave upjust three runs, two earned, on five hits over six innings. Therighthander struck out three but walked five.


A solo home run in the fifth by Ramirez, his 19th of the season,extended Boston's lead to 3-1.


Seattle got one run back in the bottom of the sixth inning whenJamie Burke singled to right field, scoring Ben Broussard, whoreached on a base hit up the middle to lead off the inning.

However, the Red Sox opened their lead in the late innings,scoring twice in the seventh and three times in the eighth,extending their bulge to 8-1.


With a victory, the Mariners (60-49) could have taken over thelead in the wild card race from the Detroit Tigers, who lost tothe Chicago White Sox, 3-1, on Sunday.
