Yankees Roll Past Red Sox, Claim Series Victory

by Felix Pantaleón

The New York Yankees, hungry for a series win, delivered a resounding performance on Sunday night in Boston. They rolled past the Red Sox with an 8-2 victory, securing two out of three games in the series.

Offensive Firepower

The Yankees wasted no time, jumping to a 3-0 lead in the first inning. Aaron Judge, a force at the plate, drove in the opening run with an RBI single. Gleyber Torres followed suit with a clutch two-out, two-run single. The offensive onslaught continued as Oswaldo Cabrera smashed a two-run ground-rule double, and Ben Rice, Austin Wells, and DJ LeMahieu contributed with sacrifice flies.

Jazz Chisholm Jr., making his debut with the Yankees, showcased his speed by singling, stealing a base, and crossing home plate.

Rodón’s Dominance

Carlos Rodón, the Yankees’ starting pitcher, turned in a stellar performance. Over 6.1 innings, he allowed only two solo home runs while striking out seven. His 25 swings and misses demonstrated his command and effectiveness on the mound, ranking as the third-highest in his career.

With this crucial win, the Yankees now set their sights on the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies boast the best record in baseball at 65-50. The three-game series kicks off on Monday, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:40 p.m.
