Jazz Chisholm Jr. Lifts Yankees to 4-3 Win Over Red Sox, Setting Up Winner-Take-All Game 3

Aaron Boone praised Chisholm’s competitiveness, confirming the infielder will start the decider versus lefty Connelly Early.

Overview

  • Chisholm made a diving stop in the seventh to keep the game tied, then worked a two-out walk in the eighth and scored from first on Austin Wells’ go-ahead single.
  • A cited timer from historian Francys Romero clocked Chisholm’s first-to-home at 9.16 seconds, ranked among the fastest postseason marks of the past decade.
  • Ben Rice opened the scoring with a two-run homer and Aaron Judge added an RBI single as New York leveled the best-of-three series.
  • Carlos Rodón allowed three runs over six innings, and the bullpen held firm with Fernando Cruz, Devin Williams, and David Bednar finishing the win.
  • Chisholm said he told Red Sox first baseman Nathaniel Lowe he planned to score before the play, and the Yankees now play Thursday for a spot against the Blue Jays with a chance to buck the trend of teams that lose Game 1 in this format.
