First Inning


The game began with both teams showing strong defensive plays. The Yankees managed just one hit in their opening inning, while the Red Sox capitalized on an error and two hits to secure an early lead with one run. The Yanks' pitcher Max Fried displayed resilience but was unable to prevent Boston from taking advantage of their opportunities.


Middle Innings


As the innings progressed, both teams struggled offensively. The Yankees recorded two hits in the third inning but failed to convert them into runs due to solid pitching from Boston's side. Meanwhile, Fried kept his composure on the mound for New York, allowing only one more run in the fifth inning after a single hit by Boston.


Final Innings


Innings six through nine saw no further scoring from either team as pitchers dominated play. The Yankees bullpen performed admirably with Mark Leiter maintaining an ERA of 0.0 and striking out two batters over his appearance without conceding any runs or hits.


Despite having five total hits throughout nine innings and leaving six runners stranded on base during crucial moments, New York could not find a way past Boston’s defense which included key plays like three double plays executed efficiently by their fielders.
