Tyler O’Neill hit a three-run homer to left field with one out
in the 10th inning to give the Red Sox a 5-3 victory over the
Baltimore Orioles at Fenway.
O’Neill connected off Keegan Akin (3-1) after Rafael Devers struck out
and Romy Gonzalez joined automatic runner Jarren Duran on base when he
reached on second baseman Jackson Holliday’s fielding error. O’Neill has 30
homers this season. It was his second walk-off RBI this season and fifth
overall.
Playing the Red Sox for the final time in the regular season, Baltimore
opened the scoring on Rivera’s leadoff homer in the third against Nick Pivetta.
The Sox tied it in the bottom of the inning against Dean Kremer, with Wilyer
Abreu’s infield single and third baseman Rivera’s error allowing Duran to score.
The Sox took a 2-1 lead in the fourth on Cedanne Rafaela’s two-out single.
The Orioles tied it at two apiece with two outs in the eighth on Anthony
Santander’s 41st homer, a shot to right off Justin Slaten.
Nick Pivetta went six innings, allowing a run on four hits and a walk with
nine strikeouts. Greg Weissert (4-2) got the victory after giving up Emmanuel
Rivera’s RBI single in the bottom of the 10th. |
