The New York Mets entered Wednesday's series finale against the Boston Red Sox on their longest losing streak of the season, three games. The Mets' bats hadn't shown up at Fenway, only scoring a run in the two games.

After a tough weekend series loss to the Atlanta Braves, the Boston Red Sox headed into their three-game set with the New York Mets needing a much-needed series win.

The New York Mets moved to 30-20 on the season with a 5-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday, a game that included another hitless outing by prized free agent acquisition Juan Soto. Soto, who signed a 15-year, $765 million deal this offseason, constituting the largest contract in sports history, had a walk and a run batted in during the game.
