Game Recap

Boston Red Sox defeated New York Mets 6-2 in a decisive matchup at Citi Field. The Red Sox utilized a balanced offensive attack and a dominant performance from starting pitcher Sonny Gray to overcome the Mets, who struggled to contain Boston's middle-of-the-order hitters in the later innings.

Sonny Gray provided the Red Sox with a stellar outing, tossing 6.0 innings and allowing just one run on five hits while striking out three. Despite a solid 6.0-inning effort from Mets starter Nolan McLean, who allowed only two runs—neither of which were earned—and struck out seven, the New York bullpen could not hold off the Boston lineup in the final frames.

The game turned in the late innings as Boston added insurance runs to pull away. While the Mets saw a solo home run from Brett Baty, their offensive production was limited overall against a steady Red Sox pitching staff that included relief appearances from Tyron Guerrero, Garrett Whitlock, and Greg Weissert.

For the Mets, Brett Baty was a bright spot, recording a 3-for-4 performance that included a home run. A.J. Ewing and Jared Young also notched two hits apiece, though the team was unable to capitalize on those opportunities consistently against the Boston staff. Juan Soto drove in the only other run for the Mets in his 1-for-3 effort.
