It’s a wild and crazy game between two teams fighting for the lead in their respective divisions at Fenway Park. Cleveland jumps to an early 5 – 0 lead against Chris Sale, but Boston comes right back, chasing Carlos Carrasco in the 2nd. In the 5th, Indians CF Austin Jackson robs Hanley Ramirez of a homer by jumping over the center field fence, catching the ball, and tumbling into the bullpen while holding on to the ball all the way; the catch is so spectacular that the Fenway faithful can’t help but give him a huge ovation. In the 6th, Eduardo Nunez clears the bases with a double off Andrew Miller against the Green Monster, putting Boston ahead, 9 – 7, but Cleveland claws back. Carlos Santana greets newly-acquired reliever Addison Reed with a lead-off homer in the 8th, and in the 9th, Francisco Lindor homers off closer Craig Kimbrel to tie the game. A rattled Kimbrel then loads the bases with two outs before throwing a wild pitch that puts the Indians ahead, 10 – 9. But Cody Allen blows a lead in turn, as rookie Rafael Devers beats out a bouncer to third, Mitch Moreland reaches on a dropped third strike with two outs, and Christian Vazquez ends the game by blasting a pitch into the stands for a 12 – 10 win.
