Homers by Reid Nichols and Carney Lansford sparked the Red Sox to a 3-2 victory over the Mariners, ending Seattle's winning skein at five games. Nichols connected for his first major league home run in the seventh and Lansford belted his circuit clout in the eighth following a double by Jim Rice. Nichols threw out a runner at the plate in the fifth inning and robbed Todd Cruz of an extra-base hit with a sensational catch in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
