Whenever the Red Sox and Yankees (-1.5) get together, you know something wild might happen. With New York trying to solidify itself as AL East champion during the stretch run of the season, Wednesday night’s matchup at Fenway Walk held even more weight in this rivalry.
And boy, did we get a great treat at the top of the fifth inning. Gleyber Torres was at the plate against Brayan Bello with two players on base. When Torres hit a line drive into right field, for whatever reason, the Red Sox made a few extremely regrettable errors. Because of this, what should’ve been a routine single turned into a three-run little league homer for Torres.
Oh yeah, it was as wild as it sounds:

By my count: That’s a bad throw from the outfield, then a bad throw to first base, followed by a sad throw to home as Torres came around the diamond. See, I told you Red Sox-Yankees usually delivers.
MLB fans couldn't believe the Red allowed a little league home run
"Little League home runs" (i.e., terrible fielding by the other team) in the Major Leagues are fun. https://t.co/oZ24sqBBMz
