Boston Red SoxvsNew York Yankees
BOS 0/NYY 1
Things to say
The Yankees edged the Red Sox 1-0 at Yankee Stadium.
01
opener
Yankees took it 1-0. Classic pitcher's duel, nobody could string anything together. One run was the whole ballgame.
02
key player
The Yankee starter got into his stuff early and just carried it. Kept the heart of Boston's order off balance all night.
03
hot take
One-nothing games are the real ones. Anybody can win a slugfest, but that was pitching and defense winning it.
04
deep cut
Boston's bats went quiet with runners on. You don't lose 1-0 because of one swing, you lose it stranding guys inning after inning.
05
exit
Rivalry never disappoints. Curious to see if Boston bounces back the next one or if the Yankees ride this.
The recap
Yankees squeaked out a 1-0 nail-biter over the Red Sox in the Bronx, the kind of game where every pitch felt like it mattered. Pitching ruled the night — the arms on both sides got into their stuff and choked the bats out of the box, with a single run standing up as the whole ballgame.
New York plated the only crossing they'd need and let the staff hold the line the rest of the way. Boston couldn't scratch across a run when it counted, and that goose egg is the whole story in a taut rivalry win that nudges the Yanks to 76-58.
