The Red Sox were an out away from taking the first two games of a pivotal three-game set against the Yankees before allowing a bit of an unusual game-tying hit.
Trent Grisham took Kenley Jansen’s 94 mph cutter the opposite way to hit a flyball to left field. It initially looked like left fielder Tyler O’Neill would have enough room to make a grab, but the ball kept carrying and carrying.
Eventually, O’Neill got to the Green Monster and tried to make a leaping grab. But the ball hit the wall a few feet from his left, dropping for a hit to allow the tying run to score from third as Grishahm moved to second with an RBI double.
