After a disappointing defeat in the opening game, the Yankees will look to level the series in Game 2. The Red Sox won Game 1, beating the Yanks 6-3. Rookie Roman Anthony’s three RBIs and a ninth-inning homer helped them win. Nathaniel Lowe’s seventh-inning double gave Boston the lead for good. New York’s sloppy defense and continuous errors gifted the Sox three unearned runs. The loss snapped the Yankees’ five-game winning streak and tightened an already tense Wild Card race.

The Yankees now sit at 69-58, 4.5 games back, and holding only a slim 1.5-game edge in the Wild Card race. Right behind them are the Red Sox, now 69-59, just half a game out. With less than two months left in the season, this four-game set could decide which side controls its October destiny.
