"Ben Rice hit an early two-run homer for the Yankees on the first postseason pitch he saw, and Aaron Judge had an RBI single that went off the glove of diving left fielder Jarren Duran. New York got three innings of scoreless relief from its shaky bullpen after starter Carlos Rodon put the first two batters on in the seventh. Devin Williams worked a one-hit eighth for the win, and David Bednar got three outs for his first postseason save."
"What a game. I mean, it has been two great games, these first two, New York manager Aaron Boone said. A lot of big plays on both sides. In the latest chapter of baseball's most storied rivalry, the winner advances to face AL East champion Toronto in a best-of-five Division Series beginning Saturday. Should be a fun night, Red Sox manager Alex Cora said."
Jazz Chisholm Jr. zipped home from first on Austin Wells' tiebreaking single in the eighth, scoring the decisive run in a 4-3 New York victory. Chisholm also made critical defensive plays at second, including a diving stop that prevented a run in the seventh. Ben Rice hit an early two-run homer on the first postseason pitch he saw, and Aaron Judge delivered an RBI single that deflected off Jarren Duran's glove.

Trevor Story homered and produced a two-run single for Boston, and the series moves to a decisive Game 3 in the Bronx.
