Red Sox’s crazy comeback to beat White Sox makes new MLB history

The Boston Red Sox pulled off an extraordinary comeback in their 12-11 victory over the Chicago White Sox, marking a historic moment in MLB history. This thrilling 13-inning game was described as one of the best of the 2026 season thus far. The Red Sox found themselves down most of the time and needed to pull off miraculous feats repeatedly. They ultimately secured their win with a walk-off hit from Caleb Durbin in the 13th inning, following an exhilarating back-and-forth contest.

The White Sox took the lead at various points from the ninth to the 12th inning, forcing the Red Sox to respond in each extra inning. In the ninth, the Red Sox were down by one run (7-6) after Connor Wong led off with a double. Wilyer Abreu then drove Wong in with a single, leveling the score. Chicago regained the lead in the 10th inning with a two-run homer from Chase Meidroth, but Andruw Monasterio and Anthony Seigler contributed key RBIs in the bottom half of the inning to keep the game tied.

In the 11th inning, Abreu drove in another run for the Red Sox via a sacrifice fly, and then in the 12th, Jake Rogers added another sac fly, bringing the score back to even. Red Sox pitcher Brayan Bello then shut down Chicago in the top of the 13th, recording a 1-2-3 inning. This crucial performance paved the way for Durbin to deliver the walk-off hit, securing the Red Sox's historic win.
