Watch this Yankees fan’s pained reaction to Rafael Devers’s game-tying homer
After Todd Frazier’s tie-breaking sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth inning on Sunday night, Yankees fans were likely confident that they had the rubber match of the Red Sox series in the bag.
With a 2-1 lead and closer Aroldis Chapman on the mound for the top of the ninth, one pumped-up New Yorker in the stands decided to film himself watching what he thought would be the final moments of the contest. Little did he know Boston’s Rafael Devers would launch a game-tying home run over the center field wall to force extra innings.
Watch the lively excitement turn into pure disbelief below:

Fellow rookie Andrew Benintendi drove in the game-winning run in the tenth inning, as the Red Sox would go on to win 3-2. The game marked Chapman’s fourth blown save of the season.
