Ceddanne Rafaela's walk-off, two-run homer inside Pesky's Pole with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning propelled the Boston Red Sox to an 11-9 win over the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday.

Rafaela's third home run in as many games landed just 308 feet from home plate but allowed Boston to salvage a win in the three-game series. The game featured five lead changes and three ties. The previous batter, Abraham Toro, dunked a single into shallow center, also off Brock Burke (4-1).

Wilyer Abreu, Toro and David Hamilton all had two hits and two RBIs for the Red Sox. Cooper Criswell (1-0) pitched 1 2/3 innings of relief to post the victory.

Taylor Ward hit a three-run homer and Zach Neto and Nolan Schanuel both had two extra-base hits and scored two runs apiece for the Angels.
