Game Recap: Red Sox 12 – Mets 5

On Saturday night, the Mets won a pitchers duel.  Sunday afternoon was a completely different story.

The two teams combined for 24 hits and 17 runs as the Red Sox avoided the sweep in Fenway.

Tim Redding got beat up for six earned runs in 4 2-3 innings.  Brian Stokes, in for relief, allowed five earned runs on six hits and a walk.

The third through seventh in the Mets order each tallied an RBI.  Ramon Castro was the only Met with a two-hit day.

A 5-5 road trip, with series wins in San Francisco and Boston.  Just one win in LA would have made this a positive road trip.  Too bad.
