Red Sox Maul Mets, 9 to 3



BOSTON: 6 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 - 9 10 1
NEW YORK METS: 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 - 3 6 1


All the runs the Boston Red Sox would need to claim victory over the New York Mets came in the first inning, capped off by a Jed Lowrie grand slam which chased the Mets starting pitcher, Oliver Perez, from the game. That was the first homerun in Citi Field, but the question remains if it will officially have that honor, as this was a preseason game. In any case, Boston ends Spring Training on a positive note and a winning preseason. The Red Sox begin the regular season at home on Monday and, as usual, look good to be a strong contender for postseason play. Opening Day arrives!
