Mac Williamson began the night hitting .167/.211/.222. He became the hero of the game when he hit David Price's first pitch of the eighth inning over the left field wall for his first major league home run.
Williamson then also nearly became the goat. Hanley Ramirez began the top of the ninth by hitting a high fly ball to left. The wind blew the ball towards left center and Williamson, calling for it all the way, had it hit off the side of his glove for a two-base error. The Red Sox had the potential tying run at second with none out.
