The first-place Mets have lost consecutive games since their 8-1 road trip, and five in a row at Citi dating back to their Aug. 14-16 sweep at the hands of the Pirates. Though deGrom took a no-hitter into the fifth, the Red Sox fattened up his pitch count enough to chase him after six.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Mookie leads the charge: Betts set the table for Boston's two-run rally in the sixth with a leadoff single against deGrom. In the seventh, Betts unloaded for a solo shot just over the wall in left against Hansel Robles that gave Kelly a 3-0 lead.
