New York Yankees Bounce Back, Take Three Of Four From Boston Red Sox

The Yankees wrapped up their final regular season game vs. the Boston Red Sox with a decisive 5-2 win, securing momentum before heading west to face the Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics.

Here are a few of the takeaways:

1. Aaron Judge Sets the Tone

The Yankees captain took matters into his own hand to regain the team’s momentum. After being thrown at in yesterday’s game, Judge put one in the seats today for his second long ball of the series. It’s safe to say this series has reignited his power just in time for the stretch run.

2. Giancarlo Stanton Contributes with 2 RBIs

Giancarlo Stanton had a productive day, going 1-for-2 with a walk and driving in two runs. Stanton has struggled recently, posting a .693 OPS over his last 84 at-bats. However, the Yankees are hopeful his bat will heat up as they head into October, a month where Stanton historically has performed well.

3. Carlos Rodon Continues to Serve as a Strong No. 2 Starter

Carlos Rodón turned in another solid outing, pitching 5.1 innings with five strikeouts and two earned runs. His season ERA sits at 4.12, though it doesn’t reflect the full picture of his strong campaign. With 15 wins under his belt and a successful rebound from last year, Rodón has been a reliable hurler for New York. His performance will be critical as the Yankees eye a deep postseason run.
