Yankees Edge Red Sox in Tight Game 1 | Fayetteville News

The Yankees stunned the Red Sox with a nail-biting 1-0 win in Game 1, thanks to Paul Goldschmidt’s solo homer and Cody Bellinger’s laser throw that erased a potential tying run. Cam Schlittler, pitching from his home state of Massachusetts, dominated with eight strikeouts and just two hits over five innings—despite walking five batters. The Red Sox couldn’t capitalize, leaving ten runners stranded and squandering key opportunities, including a costly baserunning blunder. The victory moves New York three games ahead of Boston for the top wild card spot, giving them home-field advantage in a potential playoff series. Tomorrow’s doubleheader features Carlos Rodón on the mound for Game 1 and Max Fried (returning from injury) in Game 2, while the Red Sox have yet to name their Game 2 starter.
