Red Sox Triumph Over Mets 3-1 at Fenway Park
BOSTON — In a decisive 3-1 victory against the New York Mets on Monday, the Boston Red Sox showcased an aggressive start, marking a departure from their recent struggles of allowing early scores. The Sox jumped ahead in the first inning, with Jarren Duran starting the offense with a double, ultimately scoring on Alex Bregman’s RBI groundout. Trevor Story added another run with an RBI single, putting the Red Sox up 2-0 before Duran’s RBI triple extended the lead to 3-0 in the second inning.
Duran’s impressive performance continued throughout the homestand, hitting 7-for-15 with five RBIs. Pitching also proved crucial, as Hunter Dobbins executed significant plays, including a vital double play to end the third inning. Lefty reliever Justin Wilson later delivered 1 ⅓ scoreless innings, aided by strong support from the bullpen, which combined to allow just three hits and two walks while striking out five batters.
In a notable absence, bench coach Ramon Vázquez stepped in for Alex Cora, who was celebrating his daughter’s graduation. The teams will meet again Tuesday at 6:45 p.m., with Boston’s Walker Buehler anticipated to return to action from injury.
