Tuesday’s Red Sox-Twins game had a little bit of everything, even literal ducks on the pond.
Alex Verdugo delivered a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning to give Boston a 5-4 win over Minnesota. The right fielder went viral for his accidental expletive during postgame interview, but there was another viral moment earlier in the contest.
Justin Turner was at-bat when the bases were loaded in the bottom of the second inning, or the designated hitter has “ducks on a pond,” as some baseball fans might say. While the veteran alerted the home plate umpire of a timing issue, a pair of ducks flew into the outfield at Fenway Park.
Check out the scene below:
Turner struck out to end the inning, and the ducks eventually flew over the Green Monster without a Randy Johnson-type incident occurring.
But the Red Sox unofficially are 1-0 this season when ducks arrive at Fenway Park. It was a moment Red Sox fans thoroughly enjoyed.
The matchup also featured Kutter Crawford, and Boston capitalizing on a catcher’s interference call, which marked a wild night for the Fenway Faithful.
Of course, this isn’t the first time this year an animal has popped up during a Red Sox game. A stray cat disrupted a spring training game and caught NESN’s Tom Caron by surprise.
You just never know what can happen when you go to a Red Sox. Boston plays second game of its series against the Twins at 7:10 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Full coverage of the game can be watched on NESN+ starting at 6 p.m.
