First Inning


The game began with both teams displaying strong pitching performances. Yankees' starter Max Fried was particularly effective, maintaining an impressive earned run average of 0.00 and striking out seven batters over six innings. Despite his efforts, the Bronx Bombers struggled offensively from the outset.


Middle Innings


As the innings progressed, neither team managed to break through until Boston's bats came alive in the seventh inning. The Red Sox capitalized on two hits in this inning to score their only run of the game. Meanwhile, Yankees hitters found it difficult to make contact against Boston's pitchers throughout these middle frames.


Seventh Inning


The pivotal moment arrived in this inning when Boston managed two hits that led them to take a slender lead over New York. This proved decisive as it was enough for them to secure victory by game's end.


Final Innings


Despite some solid pitching from Devin Williams and Mark Leiter Jr., who combined for three innings allowing just one earned run between them, New York could not muster any offensive response during their final turns at-bat.
