In the Red Sox’s win over the Mariners, 5 – 1, Carl Everett of the Sox becomes only the sixth major-league switch-hitter to drive in 100 runs in both leagues when he knocks in his 100th ribbie of the year. Everett drove in 108 runs for the Houston Astros last season. The other five 100-100 switches are Ted Simmons, Ken Singleton, Eddie Murray, Bobby Bonilla and J.T. Snow. Pedro Martinez is the big star, striking out 11 in eight innings to go 7 – 0 over the M’s. Jamie Moyer loses his 6th in a row, though not through his fault as a routine fly ball by Jose Offerman to Mike Cameron becomes a three-run triple when the center fielder stumbles. Prior to the game, Boston retires Hall of Fame C Carlton Fisk’s uniform number 27.
