The New York Yankees showed they can do the little things and hit the long ball in their 9-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox that sent them to the ALDS.
The New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 9-2 on Wednesday night to advance to the American League Division Series. Holding a 2-1 lead entering the bottom of the sixth inning, New York broke the game open with a decisive five-run rally powered by aggressive baserunning and timely hitting at home.
The sixth-inning burst began after Spencer Jones reached first on a wild pitch, stole second, and reached third on an error. George Lombard Jr. drove in Jones with a single, before Cody Bellinger capped the frame with a three-run home run off Garrett Whitlock.
