The game was tense for longer than it was comfortable, but the Yankees opened the floodgates late on the Red Sox and secured their first victory in the ALDS. Gary Sanchez was the MVP of tonight’s performance, driving four runs in on two massive home runs that proved to be the difference.
The big blow came in the seventh inning, with the Yankees holding onto a tight 3-1 lead. The Yankees had just loaded the bases on what appeared to be a throwing error by Eduardo Nunez, but a replay ruled the runner at second out.
