Hot Start Bolsters Red Sox Offense

From the first pitch, the Red Sox offense was on fire. Jarren Duran set the tone with an aggressive leadoff double, immediately putting pressure on Mets starter Kodai Senga. Boston didn’t let up—Rafael Devers drew a walk, and after a team effort, Alex Bregman grounded out to bring Duran home.

Trevor Story followed with a key single, pushing another run across the plate. By the end of the first inning, the Red Sox had already scored twice against a pitcher who entered with a stunning 1.02 ERA.

Hunter Dobbins and the Bullpen Shine

Rookie Hunter Dobbins took the mound with confidence, limiting the Mets to a single run over 4 2/3 innings. At crucial moments, he relied on ground balls to escape jams, including a pivotal double play induced from Juan Soto. When he exited, lefty reliever Justin Wilson took over, shining in a high-pressure situation and striking out Francisco Lindor to end a threat.

Boston’s bullpen sealed the deal, stringing together 4 1/3 scoreless innings. Pitchers Wilson, Greg Weissert, Justin Slaten, and Aroldis Chapman combined to allow only three hits and two walks. Their dominance kept the Mets’ dangerous bats quiet throughout the late innings.
