Overview

  • The Boston Red Sox defeated the New York Mets 2-0 in the second game of their series, marking the Mets' first three-game losing streak of the season.
  • Carlos Narvaez and Rafael Devers hit solo home runs over Fenway Park's Green Monster in the fifth inning to provide Boston's only runs.
  • Red Sox ace Walker Buehler returned from the injured list but was ejected in the fourth inning after a heated exchange with the home plate umpire.
  • The Mets' offense struggled again, leaving runners on base in every inning except the first and failing to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
  • Despite a strong six-inning, two-run outing by Mets starter Clay Holmes, New York's offensive slump in May deepened, dropping their record this month to 8-10.
