Game Preview

The New York Yankees are gathering steam in their quest for the American League East title, with another clutch victory fueled by Aaron Judge’s decisive grand slam against the Boston Red Sox. This surge gives them a cushion in the standings as they prepare for another matchup with the Red Sox on Saturday in New York.

The Yankees (86-62) clinched their latest game with a thrilling 5-4 victory, highlighted by Judge’s major-league-leading 52nd homer, his first since August 25, which snapped his longest homerless streak at 16 games. The win marked New York’s third consecutive game decided in the late innings and extended their division lead to three games—their largest since mid-June.

Judge emphasized the playoff-like energy during the game, noting the team’s heightened focus during their current stretch, where they have won six of their last eight games.

Conversely, the Red Sox (74-74) are struggling to maintain a .500 record and are on a seven-game road skid, falling 4.5 games behind the Minnesota Twins for the last AL wild card spot. Despite recent challenges, Boston manager Alex Cora remains hopeful, urging his team to turn things around and make a push in the upcoming week.

During Friday’s game, Boston hitters Masataka Yoshida and Trevor Story each contributed two-run homers, but relief struggles in the seventh inning allowed the Yankees to seize the win with Judge’s grand slam.

For the upcoming game, Yankees’ ace Gerrit Cole (6-4, 3.36 ERA) is slated to start, facing off against Boston’s Brayan Bello (13-7, 4.70 ERA). Cole has been effective lately, maintaining a strong performance trend despite a recent loss to the Cubs, while Bello aims for back-to-back wins after a solid start against Baltimore.

This series continues to highlight key matchups, including Rafael Devers against Cole, who has notably hit eight homers against the Yankees’ pitcher in his career. As both teams vie for playoff positioning, the intensity of their long-standing rivalry promises to make each game a critical showdown.
