Boston Red SoxvsNew York Mets
BOS 6/NYM 2
Things to say
The Boston Red Sox beat the New York Mets 6-2 at Citi Field.
01
opener
Sox took it 6-2 over at Citi Field. Boston's bats woke up and the Mets just never had an answer. Comfortable win by the end.
02
key player
Whoever the Sox ran out on the mound got into his stuff early. Kept the heart of the Mets order off balance all night.
03
hot take
Mets at 40-55 is a mess. That's not a bad-luck team, that's a bad team right now.
04
deep cut
Six runs on the road at Citi is no joke. Boston's been quietly stacking wins to climb back toward .500.
05
exit
Anyway, the Mets need to figure it out fast. Should be a fun series to keep an eye on.
The recap
Boston walked into Citi Field and took care of business, tagging the Mets 6-2 to snap New York out of any comfort they had at home. This was a getaway-day game where the Sox got to the Mets' pitching early and never let them back in the heart of the order.
The Mets scratched across a couple, but two runs isn't beating anybody when your bats stay quiet. Boston's now 44-48 and looking frisky, while the Mets keep sinking at 40-55.
