BOSTON (AP) — Brett Baty drove in three runs on two hits, including a two-run single to break a seventh-inning tie and help the New York Mets avert a three-game sweep by beating the Boston Red Sox 5-1 on Wednesday night.

In search of an offensive spark, the Mets have shaken up the lineup for the series finale against the Boston Red Sox, moving Juan Soto down from the second spot to the third and Pete Alonso to the fourth spot in the order. Starling Marte hit second against left-hander Garrett Crochet and the Red Sox and played in left field, giving Nimmo a day off.
