Rafaela's Walk-Off Two-Run Homer Lifts Red Sox

News summary

Ceddanne Rafaela hit a dramatic two-run walk-off home run for the Boston Red Sox, securing an 11-9 win over the Los Angeles Angels and preventing a sweep. The homer, measured at just 308 feet, is the shortest walk-off home run in the Statcast era and would only have cleared the fence at Fenway Park due to the right-field Pesky Pole. The game featured multiple lead changes, with the Angels repeatedly losing their advantage before Rafaela's decisive shot. Rafaela broke the previous Red Sox record for shortest walk-off home run, set by Rafael Devers. The Red Sox snapped a two-game losing streak and now head into a crucial series against the New York Yankees. Fenway Park's unique dimensions once again played a critical role in the game's outcome.
