Red Sox 6, Mets 5: Snapping the losing streak by the skin of their teeth

The Red Sox entered Wednesday’s game playing some of the worst baseball in the entire league and they had the pleasure of going up against the best pitcher in the world in Jacob deGrom. Baseball is a funny game, though, and sure enough this was the game in which the Red Sox got back in the win column. It certainly wasn’t easy and Brandon Workman came as close as one can come to blowing it without actually doing so, but a win is a win is a win is a win. In terms of the leaders on the day, Christian Vázquez had a couple of big swings, Nathan Eovaldi was solid to start, Heath Hembree got a massive out in a big spot, and Mitch Moreland knocked in a couple of runs, including the final go-ahead, as well.
