BOSTON — Rich Hill came on in relief for the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night and became the only active player to appear in a major league game in each of the last 20 seasons.
“There’s a lot of people to thank to get to this point,” the left-hander said as he struggled to manage his emotions in the clubhouse after the 2-0 loss to the Blue Jays. “Putting in the work, the effort to get back. … I’ve always loved doing it. I’m fortunate to be able to do it.”
Hill, who had stints with the Yankees and Mets, replaced starter Kutter Crawford with two outs in the seventh and struck out Toronto center fielder Daulton Varsho with a runner on second to end the inning.
