NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Sonny Gray shook off travel woes that led to the Red Sox making a late arrival to New York, pitching six strong innings as Boston beat the Mets 6-2 on Friday night.<\/p>\n
The game started at 7:51 p.m. EDT, 36 minutes later than scheduled, after Gray and the Red Sox \u2014 who were grounded in Chicago for nearly 24 hours due to a pair of mechanical issues on their plane \u2014 didn\u2019t walk into the visitor\u2019s clubhouse at Citi Field until 5:05 p.m.<\/p>\n
Gray (11-1) allowed one run and struck out five as the Red Sox extended their season-best winning streak to seven games. The veteran right-hander is unbeaten in his last 13 starts and has a 2.03 ERA in that span.<\/p>\n
Tayron Guerrero worked the seventh and Garrett Whitlock wriggled out of a two-on, none-out jam in the eighth before Greg Weissert gave up a homer to Brett Baty in the ninth.<\/p>\n
Anthony Seigler and Wilyer Abreu each hit two-run homers while Masataka Yoshida doubled twice and drove in two runs for the Red Sox.<\/p>\n
Boston is 12-2 since June 25, when the Red Sox arrived home from Denver at near-dawn due to a mechanical malfunction on their plane.<\/p>\n
Baty had three hits and scored on Juan Soto\u2019s third-inning sacrifice fly. Baty is batting .342 (13 of 38) during a 10-game hitting streak \u2014 the longest of his career and the longest by a Mets player since Francisco Lindor\u2019s 12-game run last August.<\/p>\n
Nolan McLean (6-6) surrendered two unearned runs and struck out seven in six innings.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUp next<\/p>\n
The Red Sox have yet to announce their starter for Saturday, when RHP Freddy Peralta (5-7, 4.68 ERA) starts for the Mets.<\/p>\n
