BOS is even with its 2016 pace (78-61)...At this point last year, the Sox held a 1.0-game lead in the AL East. MLB S BEST RECORDS RK. TEAM RECORD WIN % 1. Dodgers 92-46.667 2. Astros 85-53.616 3. Nationals 84-54.609 4. Indians 82-56.594 5. Diamondbacks 81-58.583 6. Red Sox 78-61.561 ABOUT LAST NIGHT: The Red Sox trailed the Blue Jays, 2-0, before rallying for 2 runs in the 9th inning and breaking the tie on a Hanley Ramirez RBI single in the 19th. Last night marked the latest walk-off win (by innings) in Red Sox history...each of the Sox previous 3 home games of 19+ innings ended in a loss. It also marked the 12th game of 19+ innings in Red Sox history (last: 4/10/2015 at NYY), but only the 2nd at Fenway Park (20 innings on 9/3-4/1981 vs. SEA). HANLEY S HEROICS: Hanley Ramirez who hit a walkoff HR in the 15th inning on 7/18 vs. TOR is only the 2nd player in the last 60 years with multiple walk-off RBI in the 15th inning or later in a single season (Sammy Sosa had 2 in 2003)...Since at least 1930, no other Red Sox player has had 2 such RBI in a single season. PITCHING IN: The Red Sox used 12 pitchers last night, tying the AL record that was set by the Angels on Monday at OAK...Sox pitchers struck out 23 batters, tying the franchise s single-game record (also 9/25/16 at TB, 10 innings). The Sox bullpen threw 13.0 scoreless innings last night, marking the 1st time in franchise history BOS relievers combined to throw 13+ innings in a game without allowing a run (source: Elias)...The Sox previous record for most scoreless innings by their bullpen in a game was 11.0 innings (6/5/2001 vs. DET). WORKING OVERTIME: The Red Sox are 12-3 (.800) in extra innings this season...they last had 12+ extra-inning wins in a season in 1982 (13) and 1956 (12)...The only other teams with 12 such wins this year are BAL (12-2) and SF (12-7). Last night marked the 3rd game of at least 15 innings at Fenway Park this season (also 7/15 vs. NYY and 7/18 vs. TOR)...According to Elias, that is the most games of 15+ innings in a single season in Fenway s history. Elias also notes that the last ML venue to host 3 or more games of 15+ innings in a season was MIN s Metrodome in 2004 (3). DOWN, BUT NOT OUT: Last night marked the 4th time this season the Sox won a game in which they were trailing after 8 innings, all of which have come since the All- Star break (7/14 vs. NYY, 8/13 at NYY, 8/16 vs. STL, 9/5 vs. TOR)...According to Elias, no other team has as many wins when trailing after 8 innings since the All-Star break. IT S A WALK-OFF: The Red Sox have 10 walk-off wins this season, 7 more than they had in 2016...9 of the Sox last 22 wins at Fenway have come in walk-off fashion (all since 6/12). The Sox rank T-2nd in the majors in walk-off wins (BAL-12, LAD-10)...They last had 10 or more walk-off victories in a season in 2013 (11). 8 different players have recorded at least 1 walk-off RBI for the Sox this season (Benintendi-2, Ramirez-2), the club s most since 1995 (also 8)...BOS last had more than 8 players record a walk-off RBI in 1942 (9) (source: Elias). SMALL BALL: Last night marked the 23rd time this season the Sox won without hitting a HR, the most such games in MLB (no other AL team has more than 17 such wins). LUCKY CHARM: Hector Velázquez earned the win last night after pitching a scoreless 19th inning...in 3 career relief appearances, he is 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA (8.1 IP)... He is the only Red Sox pitcher and 1 of only 5 ML pitchers in the last 100 years to earn a win in each of his first 3 career relief appearances (last: Alexi Ogando in 2010). CENTER OF ATTENTION: Jackie Bradley Jr. started an 8-2 double play to end the top of the 11th inning last night, throwing out Jose Bautista at home...it was his 14th career double play (CF-12, LF-1, RF-1), tied with Gregory Polanco for most in the majors by an OF since the start of 2014. Bradley s 12 double plays as a CF are the most by a Red Sox at the position since Fred Lynn (15, 1974-80). SEEING DOUBLE: Mookie Betts recorded his 41st and 42nd doubles of the season last night, tied for 2nd-most in the majors...betts is only the 3rd Red Sox player ever with 40+ doubles in 3 consecutive years, joining Wade Boggs (1985-91) and Jody Reed (1989-91). MOOKIE BETTS STATS SINCE START OF 2015 STAT AL RANK AL LEADER 126 Doubles 1st -- 299 Runs 2nd Trout (306) 533 Hits 2nd Altuve (599) 206 XBH T-2nd Dozier (210) THAT S MISTER FISTER TO YOU: In his last 3 starts, Doug Fister has allowed only 4 runs on 10 hits in 23.0 IP (1.57 ERA,.130 opponent AVG)...He has not allowed a HR to his last 82 batters faced. EASTERN STANDARD: The Red Sox have been in sole possession of 1st place since the end of play on 8/1...Only 13 of their remaining 23 games will be played against AL East teams (TB-6, TOR-4, BAL-3). SOX & JAYS: The Red Sox and Blue Jays are facing each other 9 times in 31 days from 8/28-9/27, including 6 times in 10 days from 8/28-9/6...BOS is 11-4 against TOR this season, having out-scored the Jays, 83-52. ROGER THAT: Mookie Betts has recorded more RBI against the Jays (18) than any other player this season...his 8 SB are the most ever by a Red Sox player vs. TOR in a season. In his last 11 games vs. TOR, Hanley Ramirez is 18-for- 55 (.327) with 4 HR and 7 2B. Dustin Pedroia has hit safely in 45 of his last 49 games vs. TOR, including each of his last 9...He has 14 RBI in only 9 games against the Jays this season, his 3rdhighest total vs. any opponent in a single season (17 vs. BAL in 2011, 15 vs. BAL in 2009). RUNNIN RED SOX: The Red Sox are 25-for-28 in SB attempts vs. TOR in 2017...That is the most steals for any team against any single opponent this season...it also marks the Red Sox most SB vs. any team in a season since 1943, when they stole 30 bases against the STL Browns. HOME, SWEET HOME: The Red Sox will play 14 of their remaining 23 games at home...they own the highest home winning percentage in the AL (.612, 41-26).
