Sonny Gray gives Red Sox solid start after travel woes and Boston beats the Mets 6-2‎

Sonny Gray shook off travel woes that led to the Red Sox making a late arrival to New York, pitching six strong innings as Boston beat the Mets 6-2 on Friday night. The game started at 7:51 p.m. EDT, 36 minutes later than scheduled, after Gray and the Red Sox — who were grounded in Chicago for nearly 24 hours due to a pair of mechanical issues on their plane — didn’t walk into the visitor’s clubhouse at Citi Field until 5:05 p.m. Gray (11-1) allowed one run and struck out five as the Red Sox extended their season-best winning streak to seven games.
