Red Sox allow second Little League home run of the season in sloppy sequence vs. Mets

Statistically, the Red Sox are the worst defensive team in baseball this season

Sports

Saturday night at Fenway Park, the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox are wrapping up their one-and-a-half-header. Their game Friday night was suspended due to rain in the fourth inning, and the two teams finished the game Saturday afternoon (NY 5, BOS 4). They then played their regularly scheduled game Saturday night (GameTracker).

The Red Sox took an early 2-0 lead against Max Scherzer in the night game -- Jarren Duran and Triston Casas hit solo home runs -- though the Mets rallied to take a 3-2 lead in the fourth, the Boston defense had a hand in it. The Red Sox turned Jeff McNeil's two-out, two-run single into a Little League homer when Duran's throw home airmailed the cutoff man, and catcher Jorge Alfaro threw the ball into center field when McNeil advanced to second.
