Overview

• Garrett Crochet overpowered New York in his postseason debut with 7 2/3 innings, 11 strikeouts, no walks and 117 pitches, retiring 17 straight after Anthony Volpe's solo homer.
• Max Fried threw 6.1 scoreless frames before Luke Weaver entered and allowed an 11-pitch walk to Ceddanne Rafaela, a Nick Sogard hustle double and Masataka Yoshida’s pinch-hit two-run single.
• Aroldis Chapman stranded a bases-loaded, none-out jam in the ninth by fanning Trent Grisham to finish a four-out save after an Alex Bregman RBI double off David Bednar gave Boston insurance.
• Game 2 is tonight at Yankee Stadium with Carlos Rodón set to face Brayan Bello, and the Yankees must win to extend the Wild Card series.
• Elsewhere, Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy said he is available for Los Angeles’ Wild Card series against the Reds, and Boston expects Lucas Giolito to miss the entire postseason with an elbow issue.
