The Yankees are still alive

After a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of manager Aaron Boone last night (Tuesday), the New York Yankees were trying to stay alive in their best-of-three series against the Boston Red Sox.

For the occasion, Carlos Rodon was sent to the mound for the Bombardiers, while Brayan Bello did the same for the Red Stockings.

And things started well for New York, as with two outs and Cody Bellinger on the path in the first inning, the little rice bowl, Ben Rice, dispatched the Sox gunner's offering over the little fence in right to give his team a 2-0 lead.

Bello lasted only two and two-thirds innings on the mound. However, the Red Sox tied the game in the third inning thanks to a two-run single from Trevor Story.

The two teams then traded politeness in the bottom of the fifth inning and the top of the sixth, due in part to a huge error by outfielder Jarren Duran. The score was now 3-3.

Carlos Rodon ended the evening with six complete innings of work, four hits, three earned runs and six strikeouts.

Then, in the bottom of the eighth inning, Jazz Chisholm used his speed to score from first on Austin Wells' timely single.

That was enough, as closer David Bednar closed the door in the top of the ninth inning without putting anyone on the paths.

The two rival teams will cross swords once again in a final match tomorrow evening (Thursday). Cam Schlittler will be on the mound for the Yankees. No word yet on who will do the same for the Sox.
