Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora responded to criticism surrounding him skipping a game against the New York Mets to attend his daughter's college graduation.

New York Mets righty Tylor Megill has stumbled across his past four starts with a 7.23 ERA and 1.55 WHIP, and he’s also pitched poorly on the road dating back to the beginning of the 2023 campaign with respective 5.89 and 1.67 marks across 107 innings. It’s a different story for the Sox.

Red Sox pitcher Walker Buehler was ejected in his return start vs. the Mets but later expressed regret. Red Sox held on for a 2-0 win.
