One play during Wednesday's game vs. the New York Yankees summed up the Boston Red Sox' entire 2022 season.

Catcher Connor Wong attempted to get Torres caught in a rundown between first and second base, but his errant throw to first went down the right field line. The result was a three-run Little League homer.
