The New York Times • • sports
Key Points:
- The Boston Red Sox experienced a significant travel delay, arriving at LaGuardia Airport at 4:30 p.m. ET and Citi Field around 5 p.m., causing the Mets game first pitch to be postponed from 7:15 p.m. to 7:50 p.m.
- The delay followed a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox, with the team grounded in Chicago for an extended period due to multiple issues with their chartered flight.
- This marks the second recent travel disruption for the Red Sox involving chartered flights, with a previous delay occurring on June 25 after a series against the Yankees.
- Despite these travel challenges, the Red Sox have been performing exceptionally well, winning 11 of their last 13 games and currently sitting 2 1/2 games behind the third wild-card spot in the American League.
