Rougned Odor singled to start the bottom of the ninth inning, and Tyler Wade pinch-ran for him. Wade moved to second base on a Gleyber Torres sacrifce fly. An Anthony Rizzo single moved Wade to third base while Rizzo took second on an errant throw to the catcher.

The Red Sox needed to come back from a 5-1 deficit against the Washington Nationals.
Rafael Devers provided the heroics in the top of the ninth. With Kyle Schwarber on base, Devers hit a go-ahead home run, and Boston won 7-5. It was Devers’ 38th home run of the season, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
The results nullified any hopes of the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners making the playoffs.
New York and Boston will now meet in the American League wild-card game Tuesday at Boston's Fenway Park at 8 p.m. ET.
