The Mets/Red Sox game last night was a microcosm of the season thus far. It started off looking good, some adversity was overcome, the Mets struck early, and then the wheels fell off. A season of missed opportunities was condensed into 9 innings at Fenway Park in a 6-3 loss.
Marcus Stroman started off strong for the Mets, flashing a good slider and keeping the Sox’s potent offense quiet for the first two innings. In the third, Stroman ran into some trouble, loading the bases with no one out on a Jose Iglesias double, a walk, and a hit by pitch.
