The Boston Red Sox capped a historic road swing with a 3-2 win over the New York Mets, marking the franchise's first 9-0 road trip in 49 years. A ninth‑inning error by Francisco Lindor set up two runs, and Anthony Seigler delivered a sacrifice fly in the 10th to seal the victory. The Sox outscored the Mets 13‑4 in the three‑game series, despite a chaotic travel schedule that saw their charter plane suffer mechanical failures in Chicago before arriving at Citi Field.

Boston’s surge has been dramatic: after a 10‑17 start and a mid‑season coaching change that ousted Alex Cora, interim manager Chad Tracy guided the team to a 14‑2 run beginning June 25. The club now boasts a 2.53 ERA and averages 4.9 runs per game over the last 16 contests, a stark rise from the 3.9 runs per game in their first 78 outings. Reliever Garrett Whitlock earned the save with a flawless 10th inning, adding to the growing momentum as the Sox prepare to face AL East‑leading Tampa Bay at home.

While Boston remains a league‑worst 17‑27 at Fenway, the recent streak has brought them within a half‑game of the final wild‑card spot, reviving hopes of a postseason run despite a sub‑.500 record at home.
