BOSTON (AP) – The Toronto Blue Jays and Red Sox are holding their own Boston marathon.
The Blue Jays and Red Sox went to the 18th inning tied at 2-all early Wednesday, matching the longest game in the majors this season. About 700 fans were left at Fenway Park.
In May, the New York Yankees beat the Chicago Cubs 5-4 in 18 innings at Wrigley Field.
Toronto took a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning. The AL East-leading Red Sox tied it on run-scoring groundouts by Hanley Ramirez and Mitch Moreland.
It was past 12:40 a.m. and the game had lasted over 5 1/2 hours when the 18th inning began. Boston had used 11 pitches and Toronto seven.
