"Mariners' Julio Rodríguez Secures Walk-Off Win Against Red Sox in Extra Innings"
Red Sox manager Alex Cora didn't use closer Kenley Jansen in the 10th inning of their loss to the Mariners due to Jansen's tight back, opting for Joely Rodriguez instead. Jansen, who had a back issue during spring training, preferred caution to avoid aggravating the injury early in the season. Despite the decision not to use Jansen, Cora defended Rodriguez, attributing the loss to some bad luck with soft hits and an unfortunate error.
