New York Mets-Boston Red Sox Rat at Fenway Park

The first departure of Noah Syndergaard to historic Fenway Park was all that the right-hander could have asked.

Seven bleached sleeves. Three hits allowed. A New York Mets 8-0 wins.

The only thing not so impressive for Thor? These rats from Fenway Park.

For the second time this week, a rodent was free in a canoe at the famous Red Sox stadium, this time keeping the Mets players on their guard – and back on the rail the bottom of the third Friday night. Receiver Jose Lobaton even went after the rat with his bat.

Syndergaard, meanwhile, has not been bothered.

So ….. Fenway was an overkill playground in the perspective of childhood … As a pitcher visiting a team and a city, I love …..#dontfreakout

Some of his Mets teammates did not share the same feeling.

According to Newsday, the first baseball player, Dominic Smith, told the newspaper after the game, "I'm from Los Angeles, my brother, we do not have rats, and when you see one, it's time to get out. the." place and time to buy a brand new place. I want to buy a whole new boat. "

  New York Mets player David Wright could be used as a pincher before his last start on September 29, said manager Mickey Callaway on Friday.

But Smith had sympathy for this rat.

"The thing was, he was a nice rat," Smith told Newsday. "He was not trying to find anyone, he was trying to run, there are bad rats out there."

There was no word on whether the Friday night rat was the same one who scared the Red Sox in their dugout canoe Tuesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays. But this one was apparently still in the minds of players on Friday.

In the second run – before the Mets run – some Boston players were seen playing with an apparent fake rat skeleton over the ramp of the canoe, even giving them sunflower seeds.

Syndergaard eliminated six players and made three to go to 12-3 and lead the Mets to their fourth straight victory and sixth win in seven games.
