BOSTON — Christian Arroyo had made it a few steps out of the batter’s box down the first-base line when he learned his reality and proceeded to slam his helmet on the ground.
But moments later, he was jogging to home plate, with his hand raised in the air as the Red Sox celebrated a big victory over their rivals.
Down a run in the ninth to the Yankees, the Red Sox didn’t quit. J.D. Martinez tied the game, then deadline acquisition Tommy Pham won it in the 10th inning — adding to his impressive 10 days since joining Boston — with a walk-off single as the Red Sox overcame Aaron Judge’s early home run with a 3-2 victory at Fenway Park.
