The Mets won the resumption of Friday night’s game against the Red Sox yesterday by a score of 5-4 thanks to an insurance run on an RBI single by Brett Baty that drove in Pete Alonso and a strong performance by the bullpen to hold the lead. But they lost Game 2 8-6, as Max Scherzer surrendered four home runs over his six innings of work and Trevor Gott allowed the Red Sox to pile on, creating a deficit too large for a late ninth inning rally to overcome.
