Devers' walk-off hit in 9th lifts Red Sox over Jays:
The win came in a game in which Ted Williams' historic 502-foot home run was seemingly challenged by a Blue Jays homer.Marcus Walden pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his second victory of the season.
The Blue Jays took a 5-0 lead in the third inning with a pair of home runs off Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi. Giles intentionally walked J.D. Martinez. Then, pinch runner Eduardo Nunez stole third, putting runners at the corners. Xander Bogaerts walked to load the bases, setting up Devers' hit. The homer was initially measured by Statcast at 505 feet, making it the longest home run in Fenway Park history, 3-feet beyond than the homer by Williams in 1946. The landing spot for that one is marked with a special red seat.
