They were the only three hits allowed by Porcello until Zuninos single in the eighth, but enough to hand the right-hander his first loss since May 17 against Kansas City. Porcello (14-3) had won his past eight decisions.Seattles Hisashi Iwakuma (12-7) rebounded from a season-worst performance against the Chicago Cubs to to limit Boston to five hits in 7 1/3 innings.Before the stumble against the Cubs, Iwakuma had won his previous five decisions. He was dominant from the start against the Red Sox, striking out four of the first five batters. Only one baserunner managed to reach second base in the first seven innings against Iwakuma, that coming in the third when Andrew Benintendi got his first major league hit and advanced to second on Brock Holts two-out single. Benintendi was stranded when Xander Bogaerts fouled out to end the inning.Iwakuma struck out seven and walked none, leaving with one out in the eight after Benintendis second hit. Mookie Betts greeted reliever Drew Storen with a single to advance Benintendi to second but he was stranded there again after Bogaerts flew out to the warning track in left to end the inning.Rookie Edwin Diaz gave up a run in the ninth on Travis Shaws RBI ground out, but got Sandy Leon for the final out and his second save.The three home runs by Seattle accounted for the three mistakes Porcello made in an otherwise strong start. Cruzs homer was estimated at 441 feet and reached the second deck in left field.

Canada is now down to its 22-player limit, although but players wont be registered until Christmas Day. Changes could still be made as a result of a suspension or injury. CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami threw two defensive starters off its football team Saturday for NCAA violations, after a months-long probe into whether players had access to luxury rental cars.Defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad and linebacker Jermaine Grace were permanently dismissed from the team, though the school is offering to continue providing financial aid until they graduate from Miami. It was not immediately clear if either player is planning to remain at the university, which remains on probation over the actions of a former rogue booster.Another linebacker, Juwon Young, left Miami several weeks ago and was part of the same rental-car probe. He now is on Marshalls roster.The fallout from the investigation will have a major impact on the Hurricanes, who open their season Sept. 3 against Florida A&M -- as it cost Miami its three leading tacklers from a year ago. Grace had 79 tackles, Young had 57. Muhammmad, who missed the entire 2014 season because of a university-imposed suspension after an off-campus fight, had 54 and led the Hurricanes in both tackles for loss (8. Gerrit Cole Jersey. 5) and sacks (5).The decision was made in consultation with outside counsel and after discussions with the NCAA enforcement staff, the university said in a statement. As no staff members or boosters were involved in the violations, the program will not be subject to sanctions and, at this time, the University deems this matter closed.Declaring the matter closed means that wide receiver Stacy Coley, who was also investigated as part of the rental-car probe, was apparently not found to have done anything meriting sanctions.Miami coach Mark Richt is not scheduled to address reporters again until Tuesday.
