Final score: Red Sox 1, Mets 0—The bats are still asleep
Share this story
For a second straight night, the Mets were stymied offensively by the Boston Red Sox’ pitching staff.
Jacob deGrom, despite not having his best stuff, muscled his way to a quality start. He pitched six innings, gave up three hits, a walk, and an earned run, but he still struck out nine, finishing the night with a 0.51 ERA on the season. The bullpen held up their end of the deal, pitching three innings, with only one hit and six strikeouts combined, keeping one of the best offenses in baseball from piling on and giving the Mets a chance to win the game.
