Cookie battered in finale at Fenway
The Mets went down in a quiet and desultory manner in the series finale against the Red Sox on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, dropping the game 6-1 and losing the series in Boston.
The Mets slipped behind in the first as the team was unable to get anything going against opener Brennan Bernardino in the top of the first, while Carlos Carrasco struggled in the bottom of the frame. Four of the first five batters reached against Carrasco, with an Adam Duvall RBI single giving the Sox a 1-0 lead in an inning that could have been worse had they not caught Jarren Duran trying to score on an infield out.
