Yankees Bring 1-0 Series Advantage over Red Sox Into Game 2

The series at Fenway Park is critical as the Red Sox trail the Yankees by half a game in the AL Wild Card race with two weeks left, highlighting playoff and home-field stakes.

  • On Friday, the Red Sox will start Lucas Giolito in the 7:10 p.m. opener at Fenway Park, streamed exclusively on Apple TV+, with AL Wild Card pole position at stake.
  • With a half-game separating the clubs, New York Yankees hold a razor-thin lead in the AL Wild Card race, but Boston Red Sox have dominated the season series, winning 8 of 10 matchups with two weeks left.
  • Aaron Judge's recent milestones include tying Joe DiMaggio at 361 homers, while New York starters have allowed two earned runs or fewer in 15 of 17 outings, anchoring the rotation.
  • The Yankees took the opener 4-1, and a sweep by either club could shift the wild-card standings by 3.5 games, intensifying the series' short-term impact.
  • In a wide-open American League, this three-game set could determine which team hosts a Wild-Card series in the coming weeks or pushes toward a divisional crown.
