Mets vs. Red Sox Game Highlights (5/19/25) | MLB Highlights

Hey you may remember over the winter the Red Sox made a run at this guy Juan Soto. He's going to get hot against somebody. Yeah you absolutely know that. Let's not make it here for these next three as Ron Darling said he's going to make somebody pay Red Sox starter tonight to take him on under Dobbins two and one three ninety ERA the Red Sox have in fact lost his last three starts. And there it is a really nice hand for Lindor. I fly ball left field Duran coming in the wind will knock it back. Good see that a lot tonight. One down. Here's the Soto shuffle and there are boos going up the middle. Story will flag it down and set it down to it. Here's Pete Alonso with two outs in the first inning and he cracks one to deep left field back toward the monster and off the wall. Alonso heads for a second the throw by Garretti may get him and Pete is out at Sonoma State. He got around the tag. Oh man. They'll challenge this I'm sure. Alex Corr is at his daughter's graduation. And now a challenge is coming at 15 seconds and they are going to take a look. He thought he got it out of here Fenway Park and didn't get out of the box and just created this play. And what I think eventually he'll be out. So they take a look in New York at the review center. A lot of the Red Sox are starting to make their way up the diamond right now. After you because it overturned the runners out. Boston will take the Red Sox to the first victory of the night coming up now against Senga in the bottom of the first. So here's Jaron Duran leading off with the Sox against Kodai Senga. It is Kodai Senga day for the Mets. And the first one on the way to the Duran hammered down a line fair ball off the sidewall that carries to Soto Duran for second base. He'll get there easily standing up with a double as he picks on the very first pitch. We told you this is a team that likes to swing early in the count and Duran then there's a four pitch walk to Devers regular two on and nobody out. Great early chance here against one of the best pitchers in baseball. So far that's passed everyone all the way to the backstop ran down to third and Rafi in the second on the wild pitch. This is a Kodai Senga who is not familiar to us. Eight starts has yet to give up more than two runs. Rounded up the middle not sharply hit a run is in McNeil will fire on and got him. Devers at second a close play at first Red Sox take a one nothing lead and no appeal Devers safely on down to third two away. That'll bring up the slumping Trevor Story. Ralph Boyle Yank behind a bad fair. Another one is in and that bounce back Lindor will chase it down be a long single in an RBI for Trevor Story and the Sox get that second run home to nothing Boston. It's that fourth ball again but he goes out and gets it just enough. We talk about the importance of making contact. You know these last two balls weren't smoked. This one's placed beautifully. Very important run early on second walk issued by Senga and there's two down now for lefty Jaron Duran. We're right back in the top where we started another line drive that one down the right field line. He's going to score in the third base standing up with another Jaron Duran. It is double in the first inning and the Sox are on top three nothing. Well how about it from Jaron Duran. So similar to the ball that he hit in the first inning pitch that was low in the zone just tugs it. It avoids the sidewall that he hit in the first keeping him to a double. You knew it was triple territory right off the bat. What a night Duran is having Senga rattled back at Fenway Park three nothing Red Sox. We go to the top of the third and Francisco Alvarez leads off for the Mets Francisco Alvarez flies one to deep right. A break you can't get to it. It bounces up against the wall. Alvarez digs for a second and he's in standing with a leadoff double. Alvarez goes to third and there's one away as center fielder Tyrone Taylor comes to the plate. And Taylor lines a base hit in the left center field. That'll bring it Alvarez with the first man run cut off nicely by Rafaela to hold Taylor to a single Tyrone Taylor drives in the one to cut the Red Sox lead to three to one flat slider over the plate down shoulder tucked in nicely done. That is just the fifth walk this season for Hunter Dobbins. And it comes in a big spot. Now the Mets have runners at first and second. And here comes Juan Soto. Brown ball right side Hamilton in the second. Got it up to first and in time for the double play. That's the ninth double play. Soto's grounded into this year. Let's get just the one run and trail three to one Red Sox ahead three one as we get set for the bottom of the fourth inning. David Hamilton leads off against Kodi Senga half swing on the fourth ball and he went around strike three. So Hamilton's a strikeout victim. The second of the night for Senga base hit for Narvaez second time he's been aboard and a one out base runner for the Red Sox up by two in the fourth Rafaela popped out to third back in the second and he struck him out on a splitter. So Senga's got to strike out to the inning three for the night and he's going to face Durant again. Runner goes ground ball to first again Alonzo has been busy. He'll flip to Senga right over his head. That man is hitting it a third he'll stop there. Durant take it off for second and a misplay by Alonzo for the second night in a row and his error prolongs the inning and puts runners in second and third. But this has become psychological now with Pete. There's just no question about it. That's a really frustrating moment for Alonzo who is so vocal about what he did last night at Yankee Stadium selling a throw over the catcher's head telling everybody after the game my fault my bad. It just happens again here on Alonzo. And that is going to be for second time. Devers has walked tonight and that loads the bases for Bregman. Senga is starting to show his frustration on the mound. This inning is continued because of the Alonzo throwing error. Bregman hits it on the ground to Beatty. They'll go to first base with it and Senga gets out of trouble and Alonzo can breathe a sigh of relief. And McNeil kept that ball fair and the Mets up runners at the corners with one out. This has been a persistent issue for the Red Sox. The starters not named Garrett Croce have really had a hard time getting through the fifth inning. Here's Tyrone Taylor who single his first time drove in a run. Dobbins will leave with two outs in the fifth inning. Wilson is coming on to face Francisco Lindor three to home. And got him struck him out. Came back with a breaking ball in a big spot to put away Lindor Boston keeps veteran lefty Justin Wilson out there. Soto 0 for two tonight including a double play ball hit high in the air to left field and deep Durant back looks up. It is off the green monster and Soto who was not running just gets to first. Now did he think that was going out. It's a single to left field. He wasn't running hard at all. He took his time to leave home plate and then eventually started to go as that ball approached the monster trotting again and therefore not on Soto. The bus is part of a larger pattern with Soto. He is not running hard all the time. This is something that really he needs to clean up Soto breaks for a second pitch taken low. Narvaez can't get a throw off Soto ends up at second base anyway. So in a sense he makes up for it. I don't know what Soto was thinking. It's a single and a walk in the first two are on for the Mets. But here's a lefty Brandon Nimmo. This may be the last one for Wilson. Ground ball to third friendly Hartbregman in the second has won the turn. Double play Sox have turned a couple of those tonight Soto into third but two down. So tonight's manager of Vasquez will take the ball from Wilson. Here comes Weissert one to pitch and a high pop up into right Abreu back it up back it up. When taking it he'll make the play. He's a man a third Senga again as the game has gone on he's gotten better works a one two three fifth Kodak Senga will be going back out there. Not sure that was the original plan but as he was exiting after the fifth he held up one finger and was looking like he was imploring Carlos Mendoza to give him one more inning. Rolled over to the right side Alonzo this time with the overhand toss on target to Senga for the first out. That's it. Pete cut it loose. You know you can only laugh. You got to laugh. Yes I did it. Oh boy have fun. Hold the third beautiful short hop by Beatty and he throws him out. Oh wow. With Beatty on a scorcher he did not want to get in front of that one. Nice play Senga at ninety six pitches trying to get through six facing Sadon Rafaela righty batter struck him down with a fourth ball and that's how Senga's night in with his fifth strikeout. He asked for the sixth inning and he got it. It is a base hit in an E-9. That's a first and third with two outs and the order flips for Francisco Lindor Lindor with a bounding ball in the first pitch right to Hamilton. And Slaton gets out of the on one offering and it remains three to one Boston Marte content with a single. So the Mets on a pinch hit single by Marte now bring the tying man to the plate in the ninth. Marte is a board with one down and that means the Francisco Alvarez will come up and fans come to the right side Hamilton flips that's one. And the Mets have now dropped four of their last five and scored just 10 runs in their last six games. Ramon Vasquez is the fill in manager picks up the W and a really nice win for the Sox in Game 1.
