Gleyber Torres led the Yankees to a victory over the Red Sox on Tuesday night at Fenway Park.

On Wednesday night, he hit a “Little-League three-run home run.”

With Aaron Hicks on first and Aaron Judge on second with one out in the fifth inning, Torres singled to right field, scoring Hicks, but that’s where the fun started.

Torres appeared to be trapped in no man’s land between first and second, but Red Sox catcher Connor Wong made a wild throw across first baseman Christian Arroyo and into right field.

Judge scored the second run from first base, and the dashing Torres followed by diving safely into home to give the Yankees the first three runs of the game en route to a 5-3 victory over the rival Red Sox.

It wasn’t an official home run scored, and Torres was credited with only a single and an RBI on the game, but it certainly fit the definition of a Little League homer.
