Weary Red Sox cap first 9-0 road trip since 1977

Weary Red Sox cap first 9-0 road trip since 1977 describes Boston’s turnaround into the majors’ hottest stretch, culminating in a 3-2 win over the New York Mets on Sunday. The Red Sox scored two runs in the ninth after a Francisco Lindor error on a potential game-ending double play, then added the go-ahead run in the 10th on an Anthony Siegler sacrifice fly. Boston completed its first 9-0 road trip since July 29 to Aug. 7, 1977, after opening the first half in cities including Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. The club has won 14 of 16 and 17 of 22, rising from last place to within half a game of the final wild-card spot. The run followed disruptive travel, including mechanical issues with the team’s charter plane before series games at Citi Field. Players and manager Chad Tracy credited the team’s approach, while noting upcoming matchups, including a series opener versus Tampa Bay at home on Friday.
