BOSTON (AP) — Tyler O'Neill hit a three-run homer to left with one out in the 10th inning to give the Boston Red Sox a 5-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night. O'Neill connected off Keegan Akin (3-1) after Rafael Devers struck out and Romy Gonzalez reached on second baseman Jackson Holliday's fielding error. O'Neill has 30 homers this season He had his second walk-off homer of the season and fifth overall. Greg Weissert (4-2) got the victory after giving up Emmanuel Rivera's RBI single in the bottom of the 10th. Playing Boston for the final time in the regular season, the Orioles tied it at 2 with two outs in the eighth on Anthony Santander's 41st homer, a shot to right off Justin Slaten. As the Red Sox and Orioles went into the bottom of the ninth locked in a 2-2 game, the stakes for Boston loomed clear on the Green Monster scoreboard.

The Detroit Tigers had already won 7-4 and the Minnesota Twins held a late lead over the Los Angeles Angels. The Red Sox already have enough ground to make up in the American League Wild Card race, and time is not on the club’s side. Simply put, this was one the Red Sox couldn’t afford to lose. For at least one more night they managed to keep pace, winning Wednesday’s series finale against Baltimore 5-3 on a walk-off three-run home run by Tyler O’Neill in the bottom of the 10th inning. “That was awesome,” O’Neill said. “Obviously late in the game, extra innings, you want to come up clutch for the team.

I’m just trying to get the runner in from third first and foremost, and I was able to put a good swing on that one.” The Boston Red Sox have Tyler O’Neill to thank for their latest comeback win that helped them cling to hope in the American League wild-card race. O’Neill crushed a three-run homer in the bottom of the 10th as the Red Sox won in a walk-off over the Baltimore Orioles, 5-3. WAY BACK. WAY GONE. WALKED OFF.

We won two series here at home. For some people it doesn’t feel great. But for us, it does.” A late-season surge might not be enough, but all the Red Sox can do at this point is keep winning games. BOSTON (AP) — Tyler O’Neill hit a three-run homer to left field with one out in the 10th inning to give the Boston Red Sox a 5-3 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday... O’Neill connected off Keegan Akin (3-1) after Rafael Devers struck out and Romy Gonzalez joined automatic runner Jarren Duran on base when he reached on second baseman Jackson Holliday’s fielding error.

“That was awesome,” O’Neill said. “Obviously, late in the game, extra innings, you want to come up clutch for the team. I’m just trying to get the run in from third, first and foremost. I was able to put a good swing on that one, for sure.” O’Neill has 30 homers this season. It was his second walk-off RBI this season and fifth overall.

“I wasn’t trying to get the groundball double play,” Akin said. “Just get an out, really. Like an infield popup, get a groundball. Obviously, a punchout would have been great. But yeah, obviously not that result.” The Red Sox are trying to stay alive in the hunt for the final American League wild card spot, and thanks to slugger Tyler O’Neill on Wednesday night, Boston remains in the mix.

Boston headed into the bottom of the 10th inning trailing the Orioles 3-2. With two outs in the inning and the Twins defeating the Angels 6-4, a loss would drop the Sox to five games behind for the final spot. O’Neill crushed a 1-1 slider from O’s lefty Keegan Akin for a three-run walkout homer, sending Fenway Park into a frenzy. “It was huge,” said manager Alex Cora after the Sox’ 5-3 10-inning victory that secured a series win over the Orioles. “We’ve been pitching, which is awesome, you know. Hopefully, at one point, we start hitting again.”

O’Neill hit his team leading 30th home run; reaching that feat for the second time in his career, he hit 34 dingers in 2021. His late-inning heroics was his fifth career walk-off RBI, his second this season, and his second career walk-off homer. The outfielder has hit five homers in his last five games.
