Mandatory Credit: Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images | Paul Rutherford-Imagn Images This is the sixth walk-off in the Fenway Greens in their season+ lifetime and that’s kind of absurd. They must be made of magic. Did the offense look absolutely inept against Casey Mize? Yeah, Mize mowed this lineup down for seven innings. Thankfully, Ranger Suárez was on par if not better, creating one of the better pitching duels of the season thus far. Aroldis Chapman got into two litttle jams but by the grace of the baseball gods, worked himself out of it with a vintage threw fastball strikeout of Dillon Dingler. 101.3 on the final blow is pretty nice. Garrett Whitlock did his job, Jarren Duran did Jarren Duran things advancing to third on a wild pitch by , and Masataka Yoshida showed up at just the right time. A six-game win streak for the Tigers snapped by the Green Sox (this may have to stick until they normalize) and kicks off the weekend on a nice note. The next game is tomorrow at 4:10pm back on local TV; you may not want to watch it since it’s . Unless you’re a masochist, then fine. Still, you can revel in the win Friday night!
