Connor Wong nearly ended a long home run drought during the Boston Red Sox's 9-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians at Progressive Field. A sixth-inning drive was overturned to a double on review. The Red Sox secured the win with late offense.
The Red Sox took a 1-1 tie into the sixth inning before Wong connected on a ball that initially appeared to clear the wall. Replay showed it struck the yellow padding, resulting in an RBI double instead of his first homer since September 8, 2024. The 380-foot shot would have cleared the fence in most parks except Progressive Field and Globe Life Field.
