Pablo Reyes’ first home run since Sept. 5, 2021, couldn’t have come at a better time for the Red Sox.
The 29-year-old infielder smashed a walk-off grand slam on Monday night, giving the Red Sox a 6-2 win over the Royals in what stood as just their second victory in their last nine games.
Reyes, who went 3-for-4 at the plate on Monday with a double, three runs scored and a stolen base, stepped to the plate in the bottom of the ninth with two out and the bases loaded.
He drilled a 98.2 mph fastball from Kansas City pitcher Carlos Hernandez out to deep left field.
