walkoff home run Tyler O'Neal and the Red Sox have won it their first walk-off home run of the year the final five fre Red Sox O'Neal hits number 30 a high towering Drive deep into the night and and the Red Sox walk it off and he is getting mobbed at home plate by his teammates they're all jumping up and down some of them pouring water bottles on Tyler O'Neal silly to say with 17 games to go it's a must-win it's pretty close to that especially with their other contenders for the Wild Card spots winning and this is a gutty win oh he really nailed it no question about it that was a towering home run he's such a strong guy Tyler O'Neal got a low pitch and he got all of it hitting a deep into the night over the monster seats and toward lands down street 393 ft actually took off the helmet cuz when they pound on your helmet at home plate it hurts and he sprayed with water gorade but he hits number 30 the three RBI giving him 59 and what a series he had the two home runs Monday and the Red Sox roll to a 53 win in 10 Innings as mentioned the twins have already beaten the Angels six to four so as of this moment socks are four and a half back for the third wild card for the year O'Neal is kind of carved lefties 3177 with 14 home runs that's been his best in home run swing drive way up there way back way gone the Red Sox walking off at fedway T with an absolute moonshot number 30 and the socks take the series against Baltimore [Applause] they had to have it and Tyler O'Neal made sure they did he continues his recent home run barrage with number 30 and the Red Sox walking off that one deep into the Knight that was incredible bad match up right there you saw the pitching coach come out they're going to try to talk it over I thought they had a righty warming up I thought they were going to bring him in just for that just in case luckily they keep aching in and Tyler O'Neal delivers a massive bomb and knew it he knew it what a great feeling that's going to be you know it is gone and you know you've won the ball game and a big win socks had to win to remain four games behind Minnesota that final had been posted just moments before and then O'Neal destroys number 30 no better feeling than a walk-off home run here at Fenway Park but like you said OB that was desperately needed when your scoreboard watching and seeing what's in front of you you can not afford to lose any ground on these teams in front of you and now you're heading into New York with a happy F oh boy are you that's five home runs in five games for Tyler O'neal He is on a binge and he is the hero

the plate that I can do something with um just saw something pop out of the hand and put a good swing on it it seems like in Extra Innings the way things are set up now you kind of need two runs how much did this group feel like you guys were still in it heading to the bottom of the 10th down just one oh yeah of course you know we got a runner and scoring position right off the bat so um you know scoring the runs a goal obviously you want to get a couple across the board uh we able to do that tonight three home run in this series for you with that emphatic walkoff obviously just how locked in
