The Red Sox were dealt a tough pill to swallow Monday evening in Queens.
Boston suffered its third straight loss at Citi Field, where the visitors’ bats fell silent in a 4-1 loss to the New York Mets. It marked the third straight game in which the Red Sox only scored one run, but the lackluster Labor Day showing might have been particularly frustrating for Alex Cora’s club.
The Red Sox were stymied by Luis Severino, a veteran right-hander who Boston knows very well from his eight seasons with the Yankees. The 30-year-old has been solid in his first year with the Mets, offering production the Red Sox could have benefitted from had they made a stronger pursuit in the offseason.
“We actually talked to him in the offseason,” Cora told reporters Monday, per The Boston Globe. “It was a great conversation. Kind of like the things that he’s doing right now, are the things that we envisioned.”
After struggling to get anything going against Severino, the Red Sox will face another tough challenge Tuesday night against David Peterson. The 29-year-old is amid a career season, carrying a 2.83 ERA into the middle game of the interleague series.
NESN’s full coverage of the contest begins at 6 p.m. ET.
