The Yankees and Red Sox delivered another October classic in the Bronx, setting up a winner-take-all Game 3 in the Wild Card round. New York evened the series with a 4-3 victory, fueled by Austin Wells’ clutch two-out RBI double down the right-field line and Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s all-out sprint from first to home. Aaron Judge’s animated celebration captured the energy of Yankee Stadium as Chisholm slid in just ahead of the tag for the game-winning run.
Judge had already driven in a run earlier, while Ben Rice provided the early spark with a two-run homer in the first. Boston countered with Trevor Story’s two-RBI single and solo shot, and the Red Sox bullpen kept New York in check for much of the night. But when it mattered most, the Yankees broke through.
Now, the stage is set for Thursday night’s deciding Game 3. Rookie Cam Schlittler will start for New York against Boston’s rookie lefty Connelly Early, with both teams expected to lean heavily on their bullpens. With Garrett Crochet waiting in the wings for the ALDS if Boston advances, and the Yankees boasting Judge’s MVP form, one powerhouse is about to see its season end.
Yankees. Red Sox. Game 3. The stakes don’t get bigger than this.
