"The New York Yankees secured a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium, tying the American League Wild Card Series at one game each. The decisive Game Three will take place tonight, with the winner advancing to face the Toronto Blue Jays in the next round of the playoffs. In a thrilling game, Jazz Chisholm Jr. scored the winning run for the Yankees in the eighth inning, racing home from first base on an RBI single by Austin Wells."
"Chisholm, who was left out of the starting lineup in Game One, also made crucial defensive plays that helped the Yankees stay in the series. Yankees manager Aaron Boone praised the efforts of his team, saying, "What a game. I mean, it has been two great games, these first two." The Yankees took an early lead with a two-run homer from Ben Rice and an RBI single by Aaron Judge."
"Despite a strong performance from Red Sox ace Garrett Whitlock, who pitched a scoreless seventh inning, the Yankees managed to break the tie in the eighth. Whitlock's pitch count reached a season-high 47, likely sidelining him for Game Three. The Red Sox had opportunities to take the lead, notably in the seventh inning when they loaded the bases, but they were unable to capitalize. Trevor Story's home run and two-run single kept the Red Sox in the game, but it wasn't enough to secure the win."
The Yankees evened the American League Wild Card Series with a 4-3 win over the Red Sox, setting a decisive Game Three to determine who faces the Blue Jays.

Ben Rice hit a two-run homer and Aaron Judge added an RBI single to give New York an early lead. Garrett Whitlock delivered a scoreless seventh but reached a season-high 47 pitches. Red Sox chances, including a bases-loaded seventh, went unconverted.
