Ceddanne Rafaela delivered an unforgettable moment for the Boston Red Sox, blasting the shortest walk-off home run in at least a decade, clinching an 11-9 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. His 308-foot shot, which left the bat at 94 mph, barely cleared the Pesky Pole at Fenway Park, making it an astonishing play given that Statcast data shows no walk-off home run has traveled a shorter distance since at least 2015.

The game itself was a wild back-and-forth contest, with the Angels relinquishing four leads. Starting pitchers Jose Soriano and Lucas Giolito struggled, surrendering a combined 14 runs in just over 5 innings. Rafaela's clutch hit marked his sixth home run of the season and his first career walk-off, helping the Red Sox improve their record to 30-34.
