Lou Merloni and John Tomase discuss how the Red Sox have overachieved thus far in 2021 and why they should be able to continue winning games all season.
The Boston Red Sox were only able to score one run against Jacob deGrom and the New York Mets on Wednesday night, but that's all they would need.
Nick Pivetta pitched an almost-flawless five innings for Boston, allowing only one hit and no runs while striking out seven and walking three. Garrett Whitlock, Adam Ottavino, and Matt Barnes completed the shutout with a combined seven strikeouts and one hit allowed in the final four innings.
Christian Vazquez drove in the Red Sox' lone run with a double off deGrom in the second inning.
