Funeral atmosphere in the Red Sox clubhouse. Devers was at his locker in full uniform for about 30 minutes, holding a bat and staring straight ahead.

If Netflix makes an interesting series out of a third-place that (maybe) finishes .500, everybody should win an Emmy.

From Pete Abraham: Slumping Rafael Devers has no answers — he wouldn’t respond to questions — as Red Sox continue slide trib.al/Emhiu4K

Counting the continuation of the suspended game, the Red Sox have hit .197 in the last 13 games and averaged 2.5 runs. They're 3-10 in those games. Pitchers have a 4.35 ERA, a bit higher before the slump (4.12).

For scorebook keepers: In the top of the 3rd inning on Aug. 30 at Detroit, Duran reached on what was originally scored a double. This has been changed to an error by shortstop Trey Sweeney.

#RedSox: Duran CF, Devers 3B, Abreu RF, O’Neill LF, Yoshida DH, Casas 1B, Wong C, Valdez 2B, Sogard SS, and Houck RHP (7:10 NESN).

Sox need a crooked number in the first inning so they can take a deep breath and relax a little. Things are so off-kilter lately that the team bus got stuck in traffic and was late to the park.

This is the first time since Friday the Sox have scored two runs in an inning.

Houck has retired 11 in a row, the last five by strikeout.

Francisco Lindor is 6x10 with three XBHs and four runs in the series.

Casas flubbed a grounder at first and SNY (the Mets network) flashed to a shot of the 1986 World Series banner. That's cold.

Jansen struck out Alonso and Alonso snapped his bat over his leg like Bo Jackson. 0 for 4 with 3 Ks tonight.

#Mets 8 #RedSox 3, final. Sox (70-70) are .500 for the first time since June 14 when they were 35-35. Outscored 30-15 on a 1-5 road trip, part of 11 losses in the last 14 games. They have lost five in a row for the first time this season.

Red Sox will pitch Pivetta, Criswell and Bello against the White Sox this weekend.
