Red Sox beat Mets 6-2 after charter flight delays
The Boston Red Sox defeated the New York Mets 6-2 at Citi Field after a delayed charter flight forced a later start. The New York Times reported that the team’s charter-plane experienced mechanical and weather-related problems, causing the flight from Chicago to be postponed and pushing the scheduled opening pitch back by about 35 minutes. The Boston Globe added that the delays kept the Red Sox in Chicago until the afternoon, and the squad arrived at the ballpark more than 22 hours after the original game time. Yahoo Sports noted that despite the travel setbacks, Boston rallied to extend its winning streak to seven games with a 6-2 victory.
Yahoo Sports UK said the scramble from Chicago to Queens forced the team to adjust its pre-game routine, but the Red Sox’s offense produced six runs while limiting the Mets to two. The New York Times concluded that the win came after the start was moved to p. m. , confirming Boston’s ability to overcome the logistical challenges.
