Winless since June 23, Mike Parrott snapped a personal five-game losing streak and pitched the Mariners to an 8-0 victory over the Red Sox for his first major league shutout. Willie Horton hit a sacrifice fly and Dan Meyer homered in the first inning as the Mariners quickly decided the outcome with three runs off Mike Torrez. Horton and Meyer each added their second RBIs with singles in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
