Summary
Boston stretched its winning streak to eight and moved to 45-48 by shutting out the Mets for its ninth blanking of the season, pulling within a half-game of an AL wild-card spot.
Eduardo Rivera, a 23-year-old call-up filling in for injured Ranger Suarez, opened with 3 2/3 scoreless innings on one hit, and four relievers finished the 4-0 win.
Andruw Monasterio and Masataka Yoshida supplied all the scoring with two-run homers, overcoming a 1-for-8 night with runners in scoring position and seven men left on base.
The victory gave Boston its third series win on a three-city trip and its first 8-0 road-trip start since 1977, one game before the All-Star break.
