Jerry Remy nearly had a heart attack on air out of excitement after this. I can’t say I’ve ever seen the walk off pick off. Not super common. The Sox nearly blew this game after surrendering a 5-0 lead. It took a grand salami from Andrew Benintendi (and 5 RBI), an absolutely smoked double from Michael Chavis making his major league debut, and of course Vazquez’ heads up throw in the bottom of the 9th to win the game. What a night.
