Yankees edge Red Sox 1-0 in pivotal matchup

The New York Yankees secured a crucial 1-0 victory against the Boston Red Sox on August 28 at Yankee Stadium. Paul Goldschmidt hit a solo home run, while solid defense and pitching, highlighted by Cam Schlittler’s ability to strike out eight batters, contributed to the win. The Yankees maintain a three-game lead for the top wild card spot over the Red Sox, who have been performing well since late June. The victory is especially important as it sets the stage for a day-night doubleheader against Boston. Tampa Bay’s win kept the Yankees four games behind in the AL East.
