Though it definitely didn't look like it to start, the New York Yankees will live to fight another day. After looking so good against Boston, Carlos Rodón became the latest Yankees starter to falter, getting jumped by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the first, whose towering two-run shot continued to provide an example to Aaron Judge on how a superstar is truly supposed to perform in the playoffs.
That was the first blow to Rodón, but there would be more as the Yankees' lefty was chased after just 2 1/3 innings, getting tagged with six runs in the process.
