Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts exited Sunday's contest against the Mets with left side soreness, according to MLB.com's Ian Browne.
Betts departed from the contest after making a throw to home from right field in the sixth inning. He appeared to be trying to stretch out his back, and after meeting with a trainer, left the field.
Austin Jackson beats a Mookie Betts throw home for the Mets' first run on a sacrifice fly, and it appears to have come at even greater cost for the Red Sox: Betts, a leading American League MVP candidate, departs the game immediately afterward due to injury.
