Drone flies over Fenway Park as Boston Red Sox get walk-off win over Toronto Blue Jays

An unauthorized flying object was an uninvited guest at Fenway Park as the Boston Red Sox earned a walk-off win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday night.

The unidentified drone hovered over the playing field at Fenway, causing a bit of a ruckus. It was enough of a distraction that Red Sox first baseman Mitch Moreland had to step out of the batter's box for a moment when he noticed the flying object during his ninth-inning at-bat.

"It kind of threw me off," Moreland said. "I looked up and was like, 'They’re not supposed to have these around here, are they?' I figured I’d try to hit it or something."

Moreland managed to get it together and hit a game-tying double, scoring Mookie Betts, who had walked. Moreland was later replaced on the basepaths by Eduardo Nunez, who scored on Rafael Devers' walk-off single. It was Devers' his first career walk-off RBI. The Red Sox won, 7-6, for their first home victory of the season, which has gotten off to a rough start for the defending World Series champs.

While the drone might have been good luck for the Red Sox, its owner could be in some trouble. The Red Sox's policy on drones is clear: "The use of UAVs (drones) are prohibited at all times in and around Fenway Park by federal regulations and such use will be immediately reported to Boston Police for investigation."
