Red Sox beat Mets after plane issues strand team in Chicago hours before game in New York
Key Points:
- The Boston Red Sox overcame multiple travel delays on Friday, departing Chicago late and arriving just before their game against the New York Mets, which was delayed to accommodate their late arrival.
- Despite the travel challenges, the Red Sox quickly took control of the game and won 6-2, marking their seventh consecutive victory.
- Boston's winning streak has extended to 12 wins in their last 14 games, demonstrating resilience after previous travel issues earlier in the season.
- The Red Sox have been playing their best baseball recently, with only the Washington Nationals managing to beat them in the past two weeks.
- The New York Mets, who are struggling this season with a 40-54 record, continue to face difficulties, losing to Boston and remaining at the bottom of the NL East.
