Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Boston Red Sox left fielder Manny Ramirez missed Wednesday's extra-inning affair with the Seattle Mariners due to a sore knee.
Boston prevailed, 6-3, in 12 innings to complete a three-game sweep at Safeco Field.
The all-star slugger informed Boston manager Terry Francona a few hours before the game that his right knee had tightened up.
Ramirez is batting .301 with 19 home runs and 62 RBI in 95 games this season.
