New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza has expressed his intention to discuss the importance of hustling out of the batter’s box with Juan Soto after Monday night’s game against the Boston Red Sox. The game took place at Fenway Park, where a 15-mph wind was blowing in from left field on a chilly evening.
Game Highlights
-
Mets Starter Performance:
- Kodai Senga allowed three hits over seven innings.
- He struck out eight batters and walked none while allowing no earned runs.
- Senga was replaced by closer David Robertson after giving up back-to-back doubles to Rafael Devers and Alex Verdugo in the eighth inning.

Relief Pitching:
- Robertson gave way to Adam Ottavino, who struck out pinch-hitter Bobby Dalbec for his first save since May 18 last year.
- Ottavino’s performance marked his fourth career postseason save, including closing Game 5 against Atlanta during their NLCS series win last year.
