Boston’s Red Sox have a disrupted travel day ahead of their series opener against the New York Mets at Citi Field. Multiple reports say the team remains in Chicago for nearly 24 hours due to mechanical problems with its charter plane. After the Sox are finally able to fly, their arrival is still tight and comes shortly before the scheduled start of Friday night’s game, originally set for 7:15 p.m. According to accounts from Yahoo Sports, the Red Sox reach the ballpark at 5:05 p.m. EDT, arriving just more than two hours before first pitch. The game start is then delayed by 35 minutes, with first pitch pushed to 7:50 p.m. Fox News reports that despite the travel nightmare, Boston plays New York and wins 6-2 at Citi Field. The New York Post and Yahoo Sports also note that the Mets and Red Sox are scheduled to play the series opener Friday evening, though the Sox’s delays create uncertainty until the team finally arrives.
