Overview

  • Walker Buehler, in his first start back from the injured list, was ejected in the third inning after arguing a missed strike call with umpire Mike Estabrook.
  • Manager Alex Cora was also ejected after defending Buehler in a heated confrontation, marking his first ejection of the season and 18th of his career.
  • Six Red Sox relievers combined to hold the Mets scoreless, surrendering just four hits and retiring the last seven batters in order.
  • Carlos Narváez and Rafael Devers hit solo home runs in the fifth inning, providing all the offense Boston needed for the victory.
  • The win brought the Red Sox to a .500 record (25-25) and handed the Mets their first three-game losing streak of the season as their offensive struggles continued.
