Here is the latest Washington, Oregon and Alaska sports news from The Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) – Daniel Nava hit a two-out single in the top of the 10th inning to score pinch-runner Jackie Bradley Jr., and the Boston Red Sox rallied from a four-run deficit for the second time in a four-game series to beat the Seattle Mariners 8-7 yesterday. Ryan Lavarnway walked to open the 10th against Tom Wilhelmsen and was replaced by Bradley. Nava fell behind in the count, but was able to roll a 1-2 pitch back up the middle and past the dive of second baseman Brad Miller to give Boston the lead.
SEATTLE (AP) – Raul Jimenez scored off of a corner kick late in the first half, and Marco Fabian converted a penalty early in the second as Mexico bounced back from an opening-game loss to beat Canada 2-0 in a CONCACAF Gold Cup group-stage game last night. Mexico, which lost 2-1 to Panama last Sunday, climbed back into contention in heading into Sunday’s Group A finale against Martinique in Denver.
RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Wide receiver Charly Martin has been released by the Seattle Seahawks, who also claimed long snapper Kyle Nelson off waivers.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Robin Lopez vows to help the Portland Trail Blazers with something the team missed last season: defensive stops.

Lopez told reporters his attention will be on blocking shots and defending shots.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – The Portland Trail Blazers have formally signed free agent guard Earl Watson. The 12-year NBA veteran played the past three seasons with the Utah Jazz. Terms of his contract with the Blazers were not released.
