"THE GAME OF THE YEAR,” shouted NESN’s Dave O’Brien, as the Red Sox beat Cleveland on a three run walk-off HR by Christian Vasquez in the bottom of the 9th.
The dramatic 12-10 win came in one of the most implausible games of this season – or any season.
The two starting pitchers, Carlos Carrasco for Cleveland and Chris Sale for Boston, entered the game with a combined record of 23 wins and eight losses; their respective ERAs were 3.57, Carrasco; 2.27, Sale.
