Red Sox Rally for 11-9 Win over Angels on Rafaela's Walk-Off Homer
- The Boston Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Angels 11-9 on Wednesday afternoon at Fenway Park with a walk-off home run by Ceddanne Rafaela.
- The Angels took early leads with four runs before an out and held multiple leads, but defensive errors and pitching struggles allowed the Red Sox to rally repeatedly.
- Starting pitcher José Soriano gave up five runs in the first inning, while Rafaela’s two-run homer in the ninth was the shortest walk-off home run at Fenway since 2015, barely clearing the Pesky Pole.
- The game saw several shifts in momentum with Boston overcoming multiple deficits, including a 9-9 deadlock in the eighth inning, before Ceddanne Rafaela’s walk-off homer in the ninth secured the victory; it was his first career walk-off and sixth homer this season.
- The Red Sox avoided a home sweep by the under-.500 Angels and will begin a series against the Yankees after a Thursday off day, reflecting resilience in a tight AL East race.
