Most people probably paid to see Chris Sale make his 22nd start of a season that might be the best by a Red Sox pitcher since Pedro Martinez in 1999.
Instead, Sale pitched his worst game of the year, All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel blew a save and the sellout crowd still got one of the most entertaining games of the year.
And a worthy ending.
It goes down as a 12-10 walkoff win over the Cleveland Indians, courtesy of a Christian Vazquez three-run home run, but if ever one win could count as two, this one was it.
