The Boston Red Sox streamed out of the dugout to greet Romy Gonzalez at the plate when he scored the winning run that clinched the team’s first playoff berth since 2021. The Red Sox celebrated their return to the postseason on Friday night after a 4-3, walk-off victory over the Detroit Tigers. It was the first time in at least a century that the Red Sox clinched a postseason berth with a walk-off win. The Red Sox will play the best-of-three wild-card round on the road.
