Game 162 between the Red Sox and Orioles ended with a wild moment in the bottom of the 8th. Tied at 4, Baltimore reliever Mychal Givens had two on with nobody out. He badly needed help, and he got it. A bloop shot to second turns into a bizarre double play as the runner gets caught off third. Then, with two outs, Jackie Bradley Jr. nearly ends the game with a three-run homer. Orioles outfielder Stevie Wilkerson robs him at the wall, making one of the most ridiculous catches of the year.
Wilkerson climbed the wall, fully extended, with his body hanging over the fence. From the bullpen’s view, it’s clear his entire upper body is over the railing as he somehow holds on. Bradley can’t believe it. The Red Sox dugout is in shock. Brock Holt’s unfiltered reaction sums up the mood: total disbelief. The fans’ reactions—hands on heads, jaws dropped—match the moment. Baltimore escapes the jam and avoids extra innings. It’s a brutal finish for Boston, and a wild cap to Wilkerson’s season.
