Christian Vazquez Hits Walk-Off Two-Run Shot
3 years agoBoston Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez did not start Sunday's Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Rays, instead entering as a pinch-hitter for Kevin Plawecki in the sixth inning to deliver a sacrifice bunt. After that, he went 1-for-3, with the one hit being a walk-off two-run home run off Luis Patino in the bottom of the 13th inning. Vazquez had not homered since September 1. After a down season at the plate, Vazquez is an unlikely hero, but a strong postseason could set him up for a rebound 2022, when he stands a chance to once again return top-10 catcher value.
