The Yankees' performance was notable for its consistency and strategic execution throughout the nine innings. They opened strongly in the first inning, securing 2 runs from 3 hits without committing any errors. This early momentum was sustained into the fourth inning where they added another run to their tally despite facing an error. The fifth inning saw another surge from the Yankees as they capitalized on their opportunities to score 2 more runs from 3 hits. However, it was in the ninth inning that they truly sealed their dominance over the Red Sox by adding an impressive 3 runs from another set of 3 hits coupled with an error by Boston.

Pitching for New York played a crucial role in limiting Boston's scoring opportunities. The bullpen's contribution was noteworthy; allowing no earned runs across four innings pitched while maintaining an ERA (Earned Run Average) of zero during this period reflects effective relief pitching efforts when needed most.
