Jesse Winker hit a first-inning grand slam Wednesday night for the host New York Mets, who went on to beat the Boston Red Sox 8-3.

Tyrone Taylor, Jeff McNeil and Francisco Alvarez drew bases-loaded walks in the eighth and Harrison Bader added a sacrifice fly that inning for the Mets (76-64), who swept the three-game interleague series to extend their winning streak to seven games.
