"I thought it was a great ballgame," said Red Sox reliever Garrett Whitlock. "I thought both sides played really well."
"Rice took a good swing on a cutter," Alex Bregman told reporters."
"I tried to do my job, and he made the decision to take me out," Bello told reporters through a translator."
Boston entered Game 2 with significant historical advantages, including eight consecutive potential series-clinching postseason wins since 2013, a 9-1 mark in its last 10 playoff games against New York, and the 12-0 stat for teams that won Game 1 since the 2022 wild-card format. New York pulled out an intense 4-3 victory to force a decisive Game 3. Ben Rice, a Cohasset native and longtime Yankees fan, homered in his first postseason at-bat. Brayan Bello lasted only 2 1/3 innings and threw 28 pitches. Trevor Story delivered a two-run single to tie the game, and Aaron Judge provided a go-ahead RBI single in the fifth.
