The Mets lost (again) to the Red Sox as Kyle Schwarber had a multi-homer game (again) against Taijuan Walker. It was an ugly, blowout loss as this disappointing season draws to a slow, painful close.
The aforementioned Schwarber hit a solo shot off Walker in the first, and with Boston leading 3-1 in the second, added a three-run bomb for good measure. Walker lasted just two innings, allowing six earned runs as his troubling second half struggles continued.
The Mets had chances to score against Chris Sale, who was far from his best tonight, but they only managed to scratch across a run in the second and another in the fifth.
