Red Sox Roll Into Citi Field Vs Mets

The Red Sox open a weekend series at Citi Field on Friday, bringing one of MLB’s hottest runs to Queens. Boston has won eight straight games and 11 of its last 13 after a clean sweep of the White Sox. The Mets are fresh off a 7‑3 victory over the Royals, highlighted by seven strong innings from Sean Manaea. Meanwhile, Juan Soto recently celebrated a solo home run against the Royals in the dugout at Citi Field.

Team Form and Recent Results

Boston’s momentum continues despite a few pitching challenges, most notably Ranger Suárez landing on the injured list with a groin strain. The Red Sox have leaned on depth in the rotation and bullpen to maintain their hot streak heading into the All‑Star break. The Mets need to develop more outing length from their starters after Manaea’s solid seven‑inning performance. Their win over the Royals gave them a brief boost before the weekend series.

Key Players to Watch

Sonny Gray will take the mound for Boston, already boasting a 10‑1 record and a 2.61 ERA. Boston’s aspiring run could be tested by Gray’s ability to keep the Mets’ lineup quiet. Nolan McLean anchors the Mets’ rotation with a 6‑5 mark and a 3.73 ERA, looking to improve on his recent outings. Juan Soto’s recent solo home run provides offensive spark, while Manaea’s innings limit remains a model for the Mets’ staff.
