The Yankees initiated the scoring early in the game with one run in the first inning but struggled to maintain momentum throughout. Despite their efforts, they only managed to add two more runs to their tally in the sixth inning. Overall, the Yankees accumulated six hits and committed one error over nine innings. Their hitting statistics reflected challenges at bat; they had an average of .182 and were unable to capitalize on opportunities with runners in scoring positions (RISP), achieving no hits from five at-bats under these conditions.


On defense, the Yankees' pitchers faced difficulties containing the Red Sox's offense.
