Magic Number Reduced to Two With 4-3 Red Sox Win Over Mets

In a pitching duel that featured both league's probable Cy Young winners, the Red Sox found themselves on top 4-3 at the end. Chris Sale pitched a sharp three innings while his counterpart, Jacob DeGrom recorded 12 strikeouts.  Brock Holt and the Red Sox offense wouldn't let DeGrom escape so easily however, as they tagged the Mets ace for three runs, something that no team has been able to do since the trade deadline.  Heading into New York, the magic number now sits at two.
