The can landed just a few feet from Kimbrel, who looked oblivious as a New York police officer moved to push him out of harm's way.

Kimbrel entered the game in the middle of the ninth inning with the Red Sox leading 4-1. He allowed two runs before retiring Gleyber Torres on a game- and series-ending ground ball to third base.
