​The New York Mets (40-56) head into the final game of the first half against the red-hot Boston Red Sox (45-48) at 1:40 p.m. on PIX11. Here’s what you need to know about the matchup and how to tune in. Zach Thornton will take the mound for his third major league start, looking to build on a promising previous outing in which he allowed one run on five hits and a walk over six innings, while striking out seven. The Red Sox will counter with left-hander Payton Toll, who enters the start with a 3.14 ERA and a 1.071 WHIP across 80.1 innings, along with 80 strikeouts to 24 walks.
New York was shut out for the ninth time this season in Saturday’s loss. In the series against Boston, the Mets have gone 0-for-16 with runners in scoring position after hitting 21-for-45 with RISP in the preceding five games. This marks a challenging stretch for a lineup that has struggled to come through in key moments against their rival.
