It was just what the Mets were looking for to start a critical six-game homestand as they try to catch the Braves for the final NL wild-card spot.
for the rest of the season, Luis Severino went out and delivered another excellent outing, leading the Mets to their fifth straight victory, 4-1 over the Red Sox at Citi Field.
After a shaky outing in his previous start in Arizona on Wednesday, when he was drilled on his right foot by a line drive, Severino was sharp Monday in helping the Mets win their sixth out of their last seven to go a season-high 10 games over .500 . Left-hander Danny Young took over for Severino in the eighth and got Rafael Devers to ground out to end the inning with runners on second and third to avoid some late-inning drama.Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo makes a nice catch on a ball hit by Boston Red Sox third base Rafael Devers with runners on base ending the sixth inning on Sept. 2, 2024.With closer Edwin Diaz having pitched four out of the previous five days, Phil Maton closed it in the ninth for his first save of the year.
