Christian Vazquez hit a three-run walk off home run in the ninth inning to lead the Red Sox to a 12–10 win over the visiting Cleveland Indians and back into first place in the American League East division. In a game that featured six lead changes, Cleveland tied it in the eighth inning and took a one run lead in the ninth before Vazquez’s heroics with two out and two on in the bottom of the ninth.
This was one of the crazier ones I’ve ever seen! It was fun to be a part of.
