After a single from outfielder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bellico01.shtml\">Cody Bellinger<\/a>, Rice swung at the first pitch he saw and took Red Sox starter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bellobr01.shtml\">Brayan Bello\u2019s<\/a> cutter into the seats for a 2-0 Yankees lead. This marked the second time in two games that the Yankees scored first off a home run. It also made Ben Rice the first Yankee since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/spencsh01.shtml\">Shane Spencer<\/a> in 1998 to homer in his first postseason at-bat.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for New York, its lead would end up being short-lived. After Boston loaded the bases, shortstop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/storytr01.shtml\">Trevor Story<\/a> lined a two-RBI single off Yankee starter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/r\/rodonca01.shtml\">Carlos Rodon<\/a> into left-center field to tie the game at 2-2 in the top of the third. In the bottom half of the inning, Brayan Bello was pulled with one out. His postseason start was the shortest by a Red Sox pitcher since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/salech01.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chris Sale<\/a> in 2021.<\/p>\n<h4>Judge, Story Add Offense<\/h4>\n<p><a id=\"Mp1LCKyRQNJOlqYXC4aZQw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2238260313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Mp1LCKyRQNJOlqYXC4aZQw',sig:'666crAo8NKAjehf-Pm2V7uC1ujXLP9ix_KCpioTRSC4=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2238260313',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to a walk and a wild pitch, outfielder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/g\/grishtr01.shtml\">Trent Grisham<\/a> found himself at second base with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/j\/judgeaa01.shtml\">Aaron Judge<\/a> up to bat in the fifth inning. But despite a diving effort from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/d\/duranja01.shtml\">Jarren Duran<\/a>, Judge&#8217;s single dropped in and scored Grisham to put the Yankees up 3-2.<\/p>\n<p>The following inning, Trevor Story responded with a run of his own. Already with two RBI on the night, Story took Rodon\u2019s four-seamer over the left field wall to tie the game at 3-3. This represented Story\u2019s fourth hit in eight at-bats in the series.<\/p>\n<h4>Yankees\u2019 Bullpen, Bats Finish Job<\/h4>\n<p>In the seventh inning, reliever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/cruzfe01.shtml\">Fernando Cruz<\/a> allowed one hit in a scoreless frame. The following inning, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/willide03.shtml\">Devin Williams<\/a> did the same to keep the game tied at 3-3.<\/p>\n<p>In the bottom of the eighth inning, second baseman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/chishja01.shtml\">Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/a> successfully drew a two-out walk. The next batter, catcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/w\/wellsau01.shtml\">Austin Wells<\/a>, lined a base hit down the first base side. This scored Chisholm from first and gave New York a 4-3 advantage.<\/p>\n<p>Even though he struggled in game one, Yankee reliever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/bednada01.shtml\">David Bednar<\/a> was lights out in the ninth inning of game two. After back-to-back strikeouts to begin the ninth inning, Bednar got <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/r\/rafaece01.shtml\">Ceddanne Rafaela<\/a> to fly out to right field, ending the game.<\/p>\n<h3>What Went Right for the Yankees<\/h3>\n<p>After a poor showing in Game One, the Yankee bullpen delivered a near-flawless performance on Wednesday night. Cruz, Williams, and Bednar each pitched one shutout inning, totaling three strikeouts and no walks.<\/p>\n<h3>What Went Wrong for the Yankees<\/h3>\n<p>Despite scoring four runs, the Yankees went just 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position while stranding nine players on base. They won, but they left a lot of runs out there.<\/p>\n<h3>Manager Reactions<\/h3>\n<p><a id=\"pm_DzutzTbVvdEfsTsfBCQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2238267249\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'pm_DzutzTbVvdEfsTsfBCQ',sig:'9c78xim2xQop4zTf4SgJKmu4T2QA7J6fVGvX5_WiCos=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2238267249',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>When asked about what helped the Yankees win, Yankee manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/managers\/booneaa01.shtml\">Aaron Boone<\/a> pointed somewhere other than the bullpen. \u201cI thought our defense tonight was really, really good,\u201d said Boone.<\/p>\n<p>For Red Sox manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/managers\/coraal01.shtml\">Alex Cora<\/a>, Wednesday night was simply a game that didn\u2019t go Boston\u2019s way. \u201cIt\u2019s one of those\u2026we\u2019re trying to win the game, and it didn\u2019t happen,\u201d said Cora.<\/p>\n<h3>Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n<p>The Yankees and Red Sox will face off in the Bronx tomorrow for the third and final game of the series at 8:08 P.M.
