Red Sox Aim for Sweep Against Mets in Series Finale Tonight

BOSTON, Massachusetts – The Boston Red Sox are set to face the New York Mets at 6:45 p.m. tonight, seeking a series sweep after a strong win in the second game.

In the previous matchup, Red Sox relief pitchers combined for a remarkable performance after starter Walker Buehler was ejected in the third inning. Brennan Bernardino, Garrett Whitlock, Justin Wilson, Greg Weissert, Justin Slaten, and Aroldis Chapman managed to record 20 outs while allowing only one runner to reach third base, leading the team to victory.

The Mets, struggling at the plate, went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position during that game. The Red Sox’s win marked a series victory after previously losing two in a row, improving their record to 8-8 in series play.

For tonight’s matchup, the Red Sox will start Garrett Crochet, who holds a 4-3 record with a 2.00 ERA. The Mets will counter with Tylor Megill, who has faced challenges recently, surrendering 14 earned runs over his last 14 innings.

The starting lineups reflect key players for both teams. The Mets will feature Francisco Lindor, Starling Marte, and Pete Alonso, while the Red Sox lineup includes Rafael Devers, Jarren Duran, and Alex Bregman.

Statistically, the Red Sox’s bullpen has shone with 12 consecutive scoreless innings. Crochet has had mixed results against the Mets in past appearances, and Rafael Devers is on a hot streak, having hit homers in three of his last four games.

The game will be broadcast on NESN and can also be heard on WEEI-FM 93.7.
