New York Mets Take On Red Sox on Apple TV Friday Night

New York Mets opened Friday’s Apple TV double‑header with a 2-6 loss to the Boston Red Sox, dropping to 40-55 and sitting 13th in the National League after a seven‑game slide.

What does the Friday night matchup mean for the Mets?

The Mets travel to Boston with rookie‑of‑the‑year hopeful Nolan McLean on the mound, fresh from a six‑inning, two‑run effort against Atlanta. McLean’s 6-5 record and 3.73 ERA keep him in the conversation for a postseason call‑up, even as the club fights to climb out of the cellar. The loss extends a league‑worst streak, but the young arm still shows the poise needed to keep the Mets in the conversation.

How does Boston’s Sonny Gray factor into the game?

Boston entered the night with right‑hander Sonny Gray boasting a 10-1 record and a league‑best 2.61 ERA. Gray’s recent dominance—allowing just two runs over three starts while striking out nine per outing—has made him a hot commodity at the trade deadline. While the Sox have won six straight, Gray’s presence on the mound added a layer of urgency for the Mets, who needed to contain his fireballing arsenal.
