BOSTON (AP) — Pinch-runner David Hamilton scampered home when the drawn-in Toronto infield couldn’t handle Trevor Story’s nubber to second base, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Blue Jays 4-3 in 10 innings on Thursday to avoid a four-game sweep.
Boston rallied from a 2-1 deficit in the eighth and trailed again after George Springer’s sacrifice fly in the 10th. Jarren Duran led off the bottom half with a single to score the automatic runner. After Duran was caught stealing, the Red Sox loaded the bases on Rafael Devers’ single and two hit batters.
With one out and the infield in, Story hit the ball off the end of the bat to second baseman Andrés Giménez, who was unable to field it cleanly and throw home.
