Extra-Inning Home Runs By Red Sox Not Seen In 68 Years

On Wednesday night in Toronto, Mookie Betts homered in the twelfth inning to put the Red Sox ahead 5-4, but the Blue Jays tied the game in their half of the inning. Michael Chavis hit a home run in the thirteenth, giving Boston a 6-5 lead - and they won the game by that score.

It was the first time the Red Sox hit multiple go-ahead, extra-inning home runs since April 29, 1951, against the Athletics, at Philadelphia's Shibe Park.
