Red Sox stun Mariners 9-8 on Trevor Story's walk-off single

Trevor Story's bases-loaded single in the 10th inning at Fenway Park on Monday night gave the Red Sox a 9-8 comeback win over Seattle, after the Mariners intentionally walked the two batters ahead of him. Jarren Duran hit a two-run homer and Mickey Gasper a solo shot for Boston, which tied the game in the ninth on Roman Anthony's leadoff triple and Ceddanne Rafaela's sacrifice fly. Story and Anthony were both back in the lineup after being activated; Aroldis Chapman worked a scoreless 10th.
