First Inning

The opening inning saw both teams struggling to find their rhythm. The Red Sox were unable to register any hits or runs as they faced a formidable Mets pitching lineup. Similarly, the Mets found themselves stifled by the precise pitching from Boston's starter Walker Buehler. His performance was marked by an impressive strikeout rate and no hits allowed during his time on the mound.

Second Inning

As play continued into the second inning, both teams remained locked in a defensive battle. The Red Sox managed to get one hit but failed to capitalize on it as they left runners stranded on base. Meanwhile, Buehler continued his dominance over New York’s batters with another hitless frame.

Third Inning

In the third inning, neither team could break through offensively despite some strategic plays and solid defense from both sides. Boston’s Rafael Devers showed promise with his batting form but couldn't convert it into runs for his team.

Fourth Inning

The fourth inning mirrored much of what had transpired earlier in this tightly contested matchup: strong pitching overshadowed any offensive efforts from either side. The Mets finally recorded their first hit but were unable to advance further due to Boston's airtight fielding led by Trevor Story and Alex Bregman.

Fifth Inning

It was during this pivotal fifth inning that things took an exciting turn for Red Sox Nation when two home runs electrified Fenway Park’s crowd of over thirty-three thousand fans! These back-to-back homers came courtesy of Jarren Duran and Carlos Narváez who each showcased their power-hitting capabilities against New York’s bullpen – effectively putting two crucial runs onto Boston’s scoreboard while maintaining pressure defensively against any potential comeback attempts by 'the Amazins'.

Sixth Through Ninth Innings

From thereon out until game end (ninth), stellar performances continued across all facets within 'the Sox' roster: Garrett Whitlock delivered key relief work ensuring no additional scoring opportunities arose for visiting opponents; meanwhile Justin Wilson closed proceedings seamlessly securing another shutout victory under manager Alex Cora's guidance - highlighting yet again why he remains integral part within organization moving forward!
