BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox ended their nine-game losing streak, with Rafael Devers homering and driving in three runs to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-3. 

Devers finished with three hits. Jackie Bradley Jr. drove in two runs to help Boston avoid its first 10-game losing streak since 2014. 

Philadelphia had won four straight after a 13-6 win to open the two-game series Tuesday.  

Boston held an opponent to three or fewer runs for the first time since a 5-3 win over Toronto on Aug. 9. 

The Phillies will now head to Buffalo on Thursday, where the team will play a doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

Game One is set to begin at 1:05 p.m., with Game Two set to begin about forty minutes after the completion of the first game.
