Red Sox broke the tie with 3 in the 10th off Carlos Torres who made his 3rd appearance in 3 days. Mets comeback in the bottom of the inning fell short.

The loss ended the Mets 7 Game win streak.

ESPN.com: Blake Swihart led off the 10th inning with an inside-the-parker and the Red Sox stopped the New York Mets' seven-game winning streak, holding on for a 6-4 victory Friday night.

NY Post: Mets’ fortunes turn as bullpen gets pounded to snap streak. "Ultimately, after the Mets received four straight two-out walks, Yoenis Cespedes flied to center with the bases loaded and the Red Sox exhaled with a 6-4 victory that snapped the Mets’ winning streak at seven."

Marlins beat the Nats, 4-3, as the Mets maintained their 6.5 game lead in 1st place.
