Baseball is a game of inches.
That mantra was validated by one of the wildest endings to a Red Sox game in recent memory on Tuesday night.
Alex Verdugo provided the heroics for Boston against the Twins, driving in Reese McGuire with an RBI single in the bottom of the 10th for a 5-4 walk-off win.
But for a few brief seconds, both Boston and Minnesota were stuck in a state of limbo, with the flashing lights at Fenway contrasting the confusion on the field.
With McGuire stationed at third base in a 4-4 ballgame, Verdugo sliced a 2-2 changeup from Jovani Morán that sailed out to right field.
