BOSTON — Rich Hill came on in relief for the Boston Red Sox to become the only active player to appear in a major league game in each of the last 20 seasons. The left-hander replaced starter Kutter Crawford with two outs in the seventh on Thursday night and struck out Toronto center fielder Daulton Varsho with a runner on second to end the inning. The 44-year-old Hill is in his fourth stint with the Red Sox. Hill joins Tim Wakefield as the only pitchers to appear for the Red Sox at 44 or older.
