BOSTON — Eight of Red Sox slugger Tyler O’Neill’s last 14 hits have been home runs, including a 393-foot, three-run walkoff blast in the 10th inning Wednesday.

O’Neill grabbed an 88.3 mph slider from Orioles left-hander Keegan Akin and sent it over the Green Monster. It was his fifth home run in the last five games. The Red Sox won 5-3 here at Fenway Park.

“It was great,” O’Neill said. “Obviously, I wanted to step in for the team towards the end of the game, in extra innings. My primary goal is to get the runner in from third base. I definitely did a good job of that.”

The 29-year-old has hit 30 home runs in 101 games. He averages a home run every 12.4 at-bats. Only Aaron Judge (10.1 home runs per at-bat) and Shohei Ohtani (12.0) have the fewest at-bats per home run ahead of him.

“I’m really proud of all the work I’ve done this year,” O’Neill said. “It started in the offseason when I made sure I was in really good shape physically to be able to go out there and perform on a daily basis. I’m definitely seeing the results of that. When I play here at Fenway, the ball is obviously going to be played to left field. So I’m not going there and trying to pull it or anything, but just letting it work has worked well for me.”

Manager Alex Cora added: “Offensively, that’s what he does, especially here. We’ve talked about right-handers deciding the game against us. … He does that for us, too.”

O’Neill studied biomechanics to be able to train differently in the offseason. He felt he needed to change some things because he was getting injured too often. This is only the second time in his career that he has played 100 or more games. He spent 12 appearances on the injured list from 2018-2023.

He spent some time on the IL this season because of right knee inflammation and a left leg infection. But each IL stint was fairly brief. He missed 15 games because of the knee and 12 games because of the infection, which sent him to the hospital twice.

“I just feel like I’m in a really balanced position,” O’Neill said. “Coming off the injured list in August, I felt really out of balance trying to keep up with the rest of the league being out of action there for a couple weeks. So I had to take a few hits to get back in the rhythm and back in shape, but I feel like I’m in a good position now and that’s all that matters.”
