A loss Tuesday night would have been devastating for the Boston Red Sox. But luckily, Hanley Ramirez wasn’t about to let that happen.
The Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays played a 19-inning marathon at Fenway Park after Boston tied the game in the ninth inning with two runs off Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna.
Having lost four of their last five, the Sox needed a momentum-changing win, and Ramirez delivered it.
Mookie Betts led off the 19th inning with a double to left field, and Ramirez followed by blooping a single to center field, chasing Betts home and giving Boston a much-needed 3-2 victory.
Take a look at the walk-off single.
