Mets’ banged-up outfield stretched thin at Fenway

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:03:26 GMT

BOSTON — The Mets’ position player depth is severely depleted in Boston this weekend, which is bad news considering how difficult it is to navigate the Fenway Park outfield.The dimensions of the 111-year-old field make sense only because it’s a 111-year-old field. The outfield doesn’t mimic the curve of the infield at America’s Most Beloved Ballpark. Instead, a crooked outfield mimics the jagged streets of Boston, measuring 320 feet in the left field corner, 379 in left-center on the other end of the Green Monster, 420 in the center field corner and 380 in right field before it curves off into the stands.“It’s the toughest right field going,” said manager Buck Showalter.There is a lot of ground to cover in right field and the Mets are without their starting right fielder, Starling Marte, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with migraines Thursday. They’re also without left fielder Tommy Pham, and the Monster isn’t exa...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 21:03:26 GMT

For as good as Sonny Gray has been this season — and he was an All-Star who now boasts a 3.15 earned-run average — the veteran starter hasn’t won a game since April and the Twins haven’t won a game he has started in more than a month.That changed on Saturday.Gray still didn’t get an elusive win, though he certainly pitched well enough for one. Instead, he had the misfortune of facing White Sox ace Dylan Cease, who kept the Twins mostly quiet during his six-inning outing.It wasn’t until after both Gray and Cease left the game that the Twins broke through, scoring a pair of runs in the seventh inning to help them to a 3-2 win over the White Sox at Target Field.Catcher Christian Vázquez played a central role in the win, leading off the second inning with a double, scoring the team’s first run on a Carlos Correa double later in the second inning and then tying the game up in the seventh inning.Vázquez appeared to believe the ball was leaving the park, celebrating his hit as if it was a ...
