The game-deciding moonshot marked O'Neill's team-leading 30th home run of the season, and the fifth in as many games with the Red Sox.

"Man, it's awesome," O'Neill said, as seen on NESN's postgame coverage. "Playing in Boston, September meaningful baseball. It's a dream come true. It was a great game over there. The boys scrapped all day so it was awesome to get that win at the end. ...

Just trying to get a ball over the plate that I can do something with. Just saw something pop under the head and put a good swing on it." O'Neill notched his fifth-career walk-off RBI and second this season in Boston. The Boston Red Sox have been fighting for their playoff lives for weeks, and Tyler O'Neill just won't let them die. Deep into a back-and-forth battle with the Baltimore Orioles, the Red Sox suddenly found themslves down 3-2 in the 10th inning. Superstar third baseman Rafael Devers didn't get the bottom of the frame off the best start when he struck out swinging, and Romy Gonzalez's grounder to second continued to tank Boston's hopes.

Jackson Holliday made an error, though, letting Gonzalez reach safely. That brought O'Neill up to the plate with two men on, and he ended the game then and there. The power-hitting outfielder turned on a low and inside slider, crushing it 393 feet to left for a walk-off, three-run home run. The 5-3 victory moved the Red Sox to 74-72 on the season, keeping them within 4.0 games of the final AL Wild Card spot.

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.” BOSTON - 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. That resounding crack in the bottom of the 10th inning was instantaneously identifiable as a walk-off, three-run homer from Tyler O’Neill that drove the Boston Red Sox to a 5-3 victory against the Orioles. This has been the way of the Orioles for two months, a one-step-forward-one-step-backward dance that leaves them mired in the same place. The win Tuesday — a complete team performance that featured another strong start from Albert Suárez — felt much needed after the collapse of Monday against the Red Sox. But, after Tuesday’s win, the Orioles couldn’t build a semblance of momentum Wednesday. They dropped to 25-26 since the All-Star break.

Baltimore entered this series a half-game back of the New York Yankees for the American League East lead and exits it with a 1.5-game deficit. The Orioles dropped a second straight series against a divisional foe already out of it and left to play spoiler. “Losing sucks, no matter the circumstance,” right-hander Dean Kremer said. “But, yeah, definitely, dropping a series like this definitely hurts. But looking forward to the next one and trying to pick up momentum and finish the season strong.” The spoiling Wednesday came late, but it was a trickle-down from the eighth inning.

Right-hander Yennier Cano entered with two outs in the eighth and needed two pitches to strand two inherited runners. But Cano, who threw 15 pitches Tuesday, didn’t continue in the ninth; right-hander Seranthony Domínguez took that frame. Send this article to your social connections.
