Mets allow late rally, fall 3-2 to Red Sox, get swept

The New York Mets lost 3-2 to the Boston Red Sox on July 12, 2026, completing a three-game sweep. Zach Thornton pitched seven scoreless innings, but a ninth-inning error by Francisco Lindor and struggles from Devin Williams allowed the Red Sox to tie the game and win in 10 innings. Lindor's home run earlier had given the Mets a brief lead, but the team couldn't secure the win. The Mets head into the All-Star break with a record 17 games under.500, their worst mark at this point in the season since 1995.
