Christian Vazquez hit a two-run homer with one out in the bottom of the 13th inning as the Boston Red Sox walked off with a 6-4 win over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays in Game 3 of their American League Division Series on Sunday.
Vazquez sent the first pitch he saw from Rays reliever Luis Patino (0-1) into seats above the Green Monster in left field after Hunter Renfroe drew a one-out walk. Red Sox pitcher Nick Pivetta (1-0) earned the win after striking out seven over four scoreless innings of relief.
"I just gave it my all," Pivetta said. "My energy shows what this means and what this means to our team."
