Certain horrors
Willson Contreras’s 3-run homer is going to haunt Logan Webb’s dreams for a long time.
On August 21, 2026, a terrifying moment unfolded at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts as Willson Contreras' three-run home run struck fear into the hearts of the San Francisco Giants' pitcher, Logan Webb. As the ball soared over the Green Monster, Webb's equilibrium was thrown off, and he wobbled, teetering and flailing after contact, ultimately walking and hitting a batter with the bases loaded.
This marked the first time in nearly a year that one of Webb's change-ups had been launched over an outfield wall. With two outs, the Giants scored five runs in the third inning, carving a path to victory. Despite the Giants' resurgence, the Boston Red Sox showcased resilience, with Christian Koss, Drew Gilbert, and Rafael Devers contributing to a spirited performance.
The New York Giants' dominant pitching, aided by a crucial error by San Francisco, sealed the win for the Red Sox, who ultimately claimed the game.
