Final: Red Sox 9, Orioles 8 - Sox walk one off
Down to their last out -- and thanks to a critical error by Orioles outfielder Ryan McKenna -- the Red Sox rallied in the bottom of the ninth and got a two-run, walkoff homer from Adam Duvall, edging out Baltimore, 9-8.
McKenna dropped a routine fly ball from Masataka Yoshida for what should have been the game's final out, allowing Duvall to come to the plate. He then connected for his fourth hit of the afternoon and second homer.
The Sox fell behind 7-1 in the third when the Orioles smacked around Chris Sale, who allowed three homers in three innings.
But the Sox began pecking away with four in the third, two more in the seventh and finally, two in the ninth.
