They are four games under .500 for the first time since being 9-13 on April 20.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Sonny Gray and three relievers gave up nine hits, but the dreadful Mets were hitless in eight at-bats with runners in scoring position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Gray, who curiously hasn\u2019t yet been added to the American League All-Star team, allowed one run over six innings to improve to 11-1 with a 2.54 ERA. He is 9-0 with a 2.03 ERA in his last 13 starts.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>Tyron Guerrero, Garrett Whitlock, and Greg Weissert closed out the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Whitlock put runners on first and third with no outs in the eighth inning. But the Mets failed to score as Francisco Lindor and Carson Benge were retired on shallow fly balls and Jorge Polanco popped to second base.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Abreu then belted a two-run homer to right field in the ninth to secure the victory. It was his 11th of the season. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Many in the crowd of 38,090 were booing as they headed for the exits, despite a two-out solo shot by Brett Baty in the ninth off Weissert.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Mets looked like the tired team in the top of the first inning when the Red Sox took a 2-0 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4734\">Aidan Emmerich and Zac Georgantas survive semifinal tests, reach Massachusetts Amateur final<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Anthony Siegler, batting leadoff for the sixth consecutive game, hit the third pitch of the game to left field. Juan Soto had the ball lined up but dropped it for his second error of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Newly minted All-Star Ceddanne Rafaela has hit well with runners in scoring position this season, but he dropped a bunt down to move Seigler to third. Mets starter Nolan McClean pitched around Wilyer Abreu and walked him on four pitches before striking out Romy Gonzalez.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But Masataka Yoshida came through with two outs, slapping a changeup down the left-field line. The ball struck the rolled-up tarp and came to a stop, allowing both Seigler and Abreu to score.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Gray cruised through two innings before the bottom of the order gave him trouble in the third. No. 8 hitter Brett Baty singled. Gray got ahead of Zack Short, 1-2, then walked him on seven pitches. A.J. Ewing grounded into a force at second base before Soto delivered a sacrifice fly to left field, scoring Baty to cut the Mets\u2019 deficit in half.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ewing also tagged up, and Caleb Durbin threw the ball into right field. Ewing took third but was stranded there when Francisco Lindor popped to left.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Sox missed a chance to add to their lead in the fifth. Abreu\u2019s one-out double moved Rafaela to third base. Gonzalez struck out for a third time, and this time Yoshida grounded out to first.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Gray allowed a leadoff single by Lindor in the sixth, but then Gray located a sinker that Carson Benge grounded into a 4-6-3 double play. Jorge Polanco did the same, grounding out to Seigler to end the inning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Then the Sox pounced on veteran lefty reliever A.J. Minter. No. 9 hitter Tsung-Che Cheng led off with a single, and Seigler then homered off the screen attached to the left-field foul pole for a 4-1 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4732\">Trump administration fires members of independent election group<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gray tossed six innings of 5-hit, 1-run ball, while Wilyer Abreu, Anthony Seigler, and Masataka Yoshida each drove in two runs in the series opener in Queens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4737,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
