Episode Details

The Mets are riding a hot streak into the All-Star break, winning two of three against the Royals with a blistering 25-run offensive explosion — their first series win in a month. Despite a 40-54 record, the team’s resurgence is fueled by key hitters, especially Bo Bichette, who’s hitting .303 with 5 RBIs and 4 runs in 8 games this month. He played all three Royals games, including a clutch RBI single in Thursday’s 7-3 win, even after tweaking his leg on a ground ball — and stayed in the game. But he was surprisingly benched for Friday’s game against the surging Red Sox, marking his first missed start since signing his $126M deal. The Mets face a Boston team on a six-game win streak, just 2.5 games out of a playoff spot, in a critical three-game series starting at 7:50 PM ET at Citi Field.
