• The best-of-three now comes down to a decisive Game 3 in the Bronx, with the victor advancing to face the top-seeded Blue Jays in the AL Division Series.
• Boston opened the series with a 3-1 win as Garrett Crochet struck out 11 over 7 2/3 innings and Aroldis Chapman wriggled out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the ninth.
• Manager Aaron Boone removed Max Fried after 102 pitches in Game 1, and reliever Luke Weaver then allowed Masataka Yoshida’s pinch-hit two-run single that flipped the lead.
• OptaStats noted the Yankees became the first postseason team to load the bases with none out in the bottom of the ninth and fail to score in a loss in that Game 1 defeat.
