Left-hander Rich Hill, at 44 years old, made history as the only active player to appear in a major league game over the last 20 seasons.
Coming in as a relief pitcher, Hill struck out Toronto's Daulton Varsho to end the seventh inning, securing a vital out for the Boston Red Sox.
Hill's performance was celebrated by fans, and his contribution in the eighth inning helped retire all three batters faced, proving effective in the match.
With his appearance, Hill joins an elite group of players, becoming the oldest in Major League Baseball since Ichiro Suzuki played at 45 years old.
