BOSTON -- Sandy Leon let Chris Sale handle the bulk of the workload for seven innings before taking matters into his own hands in the 12th.
Leon, who caught a masterful seven-strikeout performance by Sale in the left-hander's Red Sox debut, launched a walk-off, three-run homer in the 12th to send Boston past the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-0 on Wednesday night at Fenway Park.
"It started with Sale and then the relievers too just keeping the game with no runs, and then I got that home run the last inning," Leon said.
