Here are the takeaways, as the Red Sox rolled over the Mets 12-5 in their final tune-up before a pivotal showdown against the Yankees this weekend.
The Big Picture
The Red Sox jumped on top immediately in the first inning, as Kyle Schwarber hit a 434-foot bomb to center-field — a preview of the evening for the Mets and starter Taijuan Walker. The Red Sox picked up a second run when J.D. Martinez singled in Xander Bogaerts.
The Mets got a run back in the second, but the Red Sox exploded in the bottom of the frame.
