Red Sox Edge Yankees in Wild Card Battle | New York Yankees News

The Red Sox crushed the Yankees 6-0 in Game 1, ending a scoring drought and closing the gap to just two games behind for the top wild card spot. With only one lineup tweak—Connor Wong catching instead of Adley Rutschman—they’re riding momentum into Game 2, where Jake Bennett’s six shutout innings set the tone. Wilyer Abreu’s solo homer and a four-run ninth sealed the win. Tonight, Alec Gamboa (1-0, low ERA) faces Max Fried (recovering from elbow surgery), with Boston’s right-handed lineup poised to exploit Fried’s matchups. First pitch at 7:15 PM ET—don’t miss this pivotal clash. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
