Yankees vs Red Sox Live: Time, Channel, Lineups, Elimination Looms

The New York Yankees kept their postseason hopes alive with a thrilling 4-3 win over the Boston Red Sox in Game 2 of the wild card series at Yankee Stadium. Momentum swung back and forth all night, but Jazz Chisholm somehow became the unlikely hero, flashing the glove and eventually scoring the winning run.

With the series tied, everyone’s attention shifts to a winner-take-all Game 3 between these old rivals. It’s hard to imagine a more classic October setup.

Chisholm’s Redemption Story

Jazz Chisholm sat out Game 1 and heard plenty of criticism from fans and media. Game 2 gave him a shot at redemption, and he didn’t waste it.

In the seventh inning, with the score still tied and nerves jangling, Masataka Yoshida smacked a grounder that looked ticketed for the outfield. Chisholm dove and snagged it, robbing Boston of a go-ahead run and sending the Bronx crowd into a frenzy.

The Game-Winning Dash

Chisholm wasn’t finished. In the bottom of the eighth, with two outs, he worked a tense walk and got himself on base.

Then, on Austin Wells’ single to right, Chisholm dashed from first, sliding headfirst into home and barely beating the throw. That gutsy sprint ended up deciding the game, and honestly, it felt like pure postseason mayhem.

Pitchers Hold the Line

Pitching played a huge role, even if the late drama stole the spotlight. Yankees starter Carlos Rodón worked six innings, allowing just three runs on four hits and striking out six.

He handed things over to the bullpen after doing just enough to keep Boston’s bats from breaking through.

Bello’s Short Night, Boston’s Relief Effort

On the other side, Boston starter Brayan Bello struggled early and gave up two runs in only 2 1/3 innings.

Manager Alex Cora went to the bullpen, and five relievers combined to mostly shut down New York’s lineup. Boston’s arms kept them close all the way to the end.

Key Offensive Moments

This one had its share of fireworks. Trevor Story drove in all three Red Sox runs, including a solo homer in the sixth that tied things up.

He nearly gave Boston the lead in the seventh with a deep drive, but it fell short, and the Yankees caught a break.

Judge Delivers in the Fifth

Aaron Judge got Yankee Stadium rocking in the fifth with an RBI single that brought home Trent Grisham, putting New York up 3-2.

The lead didn’t last long, but Judge’s clutch gene showed up right when they needed it.

Closing It Out

Up 4-3 in the ninth, Yankees closer David Bednar took the mound with no room for mistakes. He stayed cool under pressure, shutting down Boston and locking in the win.

The Stakes for Game 3

The Yankees and Red Sox now face a winner-take-all clash on Oct. 2 in the Bronx. There’s so much riding on it—advancing, bragging rights, and another chapter in baseball’s most famous rivalry.

Final Takeaways

Game 2 turned into one of those tense postseason slugfests—clutch plays, wild defense, and nerves everywhere. A few things really stood out to me:

• Jazz Chisholm made a huge defensive stop and then scored the winning run. That changed everything.
• Carlos Rodón gave New York six gritty innings. He looked locked in.
• Trevor Story basically carried Boston’s offense, driving in all three of their runs.
• Aaron Judge and Austin Wells both came through with big RBI hits.
• David Bednar shut things down at the end, so now it’s all tied up heading to Game 3.

Game 3 is set up to be wild—another Yankees-Red Sox showdown with everything on the line. Who knows what’ll happen next? If you thought Game 2 was stressful, you might want to buckle up for what’s coming.
