Monasterio, Yoshida hit 2-run homers as Red Sox beat Mets 4-0 for 8-game
winning streak

NEW YORK (AP) --- Andrew Monasterio and Masataka Yoshida hit two-run homers as
the surging Boston Red Sox played after a night of normal rest and extended
their winning streak to eight games with a 4-0 victory over the New York Mets
on Saturday.
Boston is on its longest winning streak since taking 10 in a row from July 4-13
last year. The Red Sox have won 13 of 15 and 16 of 21.
The Red Sox arrived late for Friday's series opener after flight trouble
stranded them in Chicago for nearly 24 hours. Boston poked fun at the ordeal by
sporting white T-shirts that read "Show and Go Airlines, See You at 4:15."
Following a leadoff walk to Caleb Durbin in the fourth, Monasterio gave put the
Red Sox ahead by hitting a fastball from Freddy Peralta (5-8) into the
left-field seats. Durbin singled off Tobias Myers starting the righth and
Yoshida lifted a 1-0 cutter into the right-field seats.
Eduardo Rivera started with 3 1/3 hitless innings in his first big league
start, allowing Jorge Polanco's single on his final pitch.
Greg Weissert and Jovani Moran (2-2) combined to pitch the next 2 2/3 innings
and Justin Slaten escaped a bases-loaded jam in the eighth with a called third
strike on rookie A.J. Ewing, who lost an ABS challenge.
Danny Coulombe ended the eighth on Polanco's double-play grounder and finished
Boston's AL-leading ninth shutout.
Peralta allowed two runs, three hits and five walks in 4 1/3 innings. He is 0-3
with a 7.59 ERA in his last five starts.
New York (40-56) went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position for the second
straight day. They Mets were blanked for the ninth time and held to three hits
or fewer for the eighth time.
