Red Sox Rafaela Hits Shortest Walk-Off Home Run in MLB History

News summary

Ceddanne Rafaela delivered a crucial two-run walk-off home run for the Boston Red Sox in an 11-9 victory over the Los Angeles Angels at Fenway Park. His 308-foot homer down the right-field line was the shortest walk-off home run in the Statcast era and would not have been a home run in any other major league ballpark. The win helped the Red Sox avoid being swept at Fenway for the first time this year amid a difficult stretch where they've led the majors with 17 one-run losses. Rafaela, who is hitting .252 with six home runs and 25 RBI this season, has been heating up lately, batting .433 with four home runs in his last seven games. The game featured tense moments, including a pre-game altercation between the Angels' starter and the Red Sox first base coach, which seemed to fuel Boston's resilience. Manager Alex Cora expressed hope that this win could mark a turning point for the team after many close losses.
