The Red Sox starter, Payton Tolle began the game on fire. He struck out the first five Yankees batters. Trent Grisham ended all of that by... grounding out.

On the other side, Cam Schlittler was holding his own, but two outs into the bottom of the second, Trevor Story reached on an error by Amed Rosario. Marcelo Mayer thyen doubled home Story to give the Red Sox a 1-0 lead.

In the top of the fifth inning, Jazz Chisholm hit his first home run of the year to tie the game at 1-1.

But in the bottom of the inning, Carlos Narvaez gave the Bostonians the lead with a solo homer of his own.

In the top of the seventh inning, the Yankees took the lead for good. With one out, Trent Grisham, Jazz Chisholm, and Jose Caballero all singled to lead the bases. After an Austin Wells strikeout, Cody Bellinger singled in two runs and Aaron Judge singled home a run to make the score 4-2 Yanks.

And that's how it stayed. Yanks Win!
