"But Chapman, the 37-year-old fireballing southpaw who spent seven years in the Bronx, got the last laugh. He struck out Giancarlo Stanton, got Jazz Chisholm Jr. to fly out to right too shallow for the slow-footed Goldschmidt to attempt to tag up and downed Trent Grisham swinging on high heat to preserve a 3-1 victory for the Red Sox in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series."
"Luke Weaver's regular-season struggles followed him into the playoffs, and now the Yankees' backs are immediately up against the wall. The New York reliever squandered Max Fried's gem in the three batters he faced, allowing a two-run single in the seventh inning to Masataka Yoshida that proved to be the difference in the Boston Red Sox's 2-1 victory over New York in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series in the Bronx on Tuesday night."
Boston Red Sox won Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series, placing the New York Yankees one loss from elimination in the best-of-three set. Max Fried and Garrett Crochet staged a noted pitching duel with Fried delivering a strong start. Reliever Luke Weaver allowed a two-run single to Masataka Yoshida in the seventh that shifted the lead. Aroldis Chapman, a 37-year-old former Yankee, entered late and retired the side, striking out batters and inducing a shallow fly to secure the Red Sox victory. The Yankees must win the next game to stay alive.
