Yankees Force Winner-Take-All Game 3 vs. Red Sox on Chisholm’s Late Dash

The decider at Yankee Stadium will pit Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler against Boston lefty Connelly Early after Lucas Giolito’s injury reshaped the Red Sox rotation.

Overview

  • New York leveled the series 1-1 with a 4-3 win as Jazz Chisholm Jr. scored from first on Austin Wells’ two-out single in the eighth inning.
  • Chisholm, benched in Game 1, also preserved the tie with a diving stop at second base in the seventh to halt a run-scoring chance.
  • Relievers Fernando Cruz and Devin Williams delivered scoreless seventh and eighth innings, and David Bednar set down Boston in order in the ninth.
  • Game 3 will feature rookie starters, with Cam Schlittler going for the Yankees and Connelly Early starting for Boston following Giolito’s absence.
  • The winner advances to face the Toronto Blue Jays in a best-of-five ALDS that opens Saturday in Toronto.
