G129: Red Sox 3, Mets 1

Red Sox - 000 002 100 - 3  7  0
Mets    - 000 000 100 - 1  5  1
Joe Kelly (7.1-5-1-2-2, 102) outdueled Jacob deGrom (6-4-2-2-10, 109) and Mookie Betts singled, homered, and scored two runs.

deGrom blinked in the sixth inning when Betts singled, moved to second on a wild pitch, and scored on Pablo Sandoval's double. After Xander Bogaerts's fly out moved the Panda to third and Travis Shaw walked, Brock Holt's fielder's choice grounder scored Sandoval with Boston's second run.

Betts homered with two outs in the seventh.

Gordon Edes notes that Red Sox starters have allowed two or fewer runs in 11 of their past 15 games.
