New York Mets Break Game Open Late To Secure 3-Game Sweep

A grand slam by New York Mets Designated Hitter Jesse Winker in the bottom of the first inning got the scoring started in a hurry tonight at Citi Field. The scoring was far from over though. The Boston Red Sox offense, which has struggled as of late responded with three runs in the top of the third inning. An RBI double by Center Fielder Jarren Duran and two sacrifice flies cut NY's lead to 4-3. After some fireworks early in the game, everything settled down until the bottom of the eighth inning.

New York scored four runs in the inning to officially put the game out of reach thanks to a whopping five walks in the half inning. The New York Mets won 8-3 to take all three games over the Boston Red Sox. The bullpen worked around trouble to secure the win this evening. Relief Pitcher Huascar Brazoban escaped a runner on first and second base with no outs jam to keep NY's one-run lead intact. Relief Pitcher Phil Maton also induced a lineout from Red Sox DH Masataka Yoshida with runners on first and third in the top of the eighth inning.

The New York Mets bullpen tossed five scoreless innings to shut the door on the Red Sox. Will the New York Mets be able to keep this momentum going into the home stretch of the regular season?
