Sonny Gray-led Red Sox top Mets for 7th straight victory

Sonny Gray-led Red Sox pitching powered Boston to a 6-2 win over the host New York Mets for their seventh straight victory in the opener of a three-game interleague set. The night featured major travel disruption: Boston’s flight out of Chicago was delayed nearly 24 hours due to multiple mechanical issues, pushing the first pitch from 7:15 to 7:51 p.m. ET after arrival at LaGuardia after 4 p.m. ET. Gray improved to 11-1, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out three across six innings. Wilyer Abreu delivered three hits, including a two-run homer, while Anthony Seigler added a two-run shot and Masataka Yoshida contributed a two-RBI double. New York had its two-game losing streak extend, with Brett Baty hitting a solo homer and reaching a 10-game hitting streak, though starter Nolan McLean fell to 6-6.
