The New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox last night in a thrilling extra-inning game that had fans on the edge of their seats until the very end. The game started off as a pitcher’s duel, with both teams unable to score any runs through the first nine innings.
However, in the tenth inning, the Yankees were able to plate two runs on a clutch hit by Aaron Judge, giving them the lead. The Red Sox were quick to respond, tying the game up with a two-run home run in the bottom of the inning.
The game remained deadlocked until the fifteenth inning, when the Yankees exploded for four runs, thanks in part to a three-run homer by Giancarlo Stanton. The Red Sox mounted a comeback in the bottom of the inning, scoring three runs and putting the tying run on base.
But Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman was able to shut the door and secure the victory for his team. «It was a hard-fought game, but we never gave up,» said Judge after the game. «We knew we had to keep battling and eventually we would come out on top.»
The win puts the Yankees in sole possession of first place in the division, while the Red Sox are left scratching their heads after another tough loss. «We have to regroup and come out ready to play tomorrow,» said Red Sox manager Alex Cora. «We can’t dwell on this loss for too long.»
