Duvall became first MLB player to ever achieve these feats in Red Sox' win

Share

Not only did Adam Duvall complete the Boston Red Sox' comeback against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday with a walk-off home run in the ninth inning, he also made MLB history in a couple different ways.

After the Orioles botched a potential game-ending flyout to left field hit by Masataka Yoshida, Duvall stepped up to the plate with two outs and needing a single to complete the cycle.

But he ended the game instead with a homer that barely cleared the Green Monster, giving the Red Sox a dramatic 9-8 win at Fenway Park after they had trailed 7-1 earlier in the afternoon.

Duvall became the first player in MLB history to accomplish the following feats:

Duvall was signed by the Red Sox as a free agent in January after he spent the majority of the last five seasons with the Atlanta Braves, including a World Series title in 2021. 

The Red Sox and Orioles will wrap up their season-opening series Sunday. First pitch is scheduled for 1:35 p.m. ET.
