All-Time Catch Has Red Sox 1 Win From World Series

You may be telling your grandchildren about Andrew Benintendi's catch. You can even tell them you stayed up for it.

Benintendi's fully extended catch of a sinking line drive off the bat of Alex Bregman saved an 8-6 Red Soxvictory some time after 1 a.m., putting Boston one win away from the World Series. Game 5 is Thursday night in Houston.

The play capped one of the most thrilling - and longest - games of the season. The Red Sox and Astros exchanged multiple leads and featured several heroes.

One of the those heroes probably wasn't Craig Kimbrel, who just barely nailed down the first six-out save of his career. Benintendi's catch kept him safe from Sox fans' ire for at least another day.

Astros fans will have no trouble directing ire their ire. Jose Altuve was called out via fan interference on what appeared to have been a two-run home run in the first inning, about four hours before Benintendi's catch.
