"It took the Boston Red Sox almost 24 hours Thursday and Friday to get to New York for their three-game series against the Mets. Boston took advantage of shortstop Francisco Lindor’s error on a potential game-ending double play in the ninth to score two runs, and Anthony Siegler hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th for a 3-2 victory on Sunday over the struggling New York Mets. Boston, which finished the first half at the Los Angeles Angels, Chicago White Sox and the Mets, had not gone 9-0 on a trip since July 29 to Aug. 7, 1977, at the California Angels, Seattle and Oakland.
"Francisco Lindor misplayed a potential game-ending, double-play grounder for an error that led to Boston's two-run ninth inning, Anthony Siegler hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th and the Red Sox extended their winning streak to nine by beating the New York Mets 3-2 Sunday. Boston (46-48) completed its second 9-0 trip in franchise history after one from July 29 to Aug. 7, 1977. The Red Sox are on their longest winning streak since taking 10 in a row from July 4-13 last year.
