Yankees Outlast Red Sox in Thrilling Matchup<\/h2>\n\nThe [New York Yankees](\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/nyy\/new-york-yankees) defeated the [Boston Red Sox](\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/bos\/boston-red-sox) for the second consecutive day, with a score of 4-3, in front of a crowd at Fenway Park. This victory extends their lead in the fight for the American League wild card to 1.5 games.\n\nWith a record of 83-65, the Yankees are positioned third in the American League, three games behind the [Toronto Blue Jays](\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/tor\/toronto-blue-jays), leaders of the East division. Despite having 14 games remaining, the team still has a chance to secure the division title and the best seed in the league for the second consecutive year.\n\nThe Yankees’ second baseman, [Jazz Chisholm Jr](https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/41433\/jazz-chisholm-jr), believes that the ranking does not fully reflect the level of the league. For him, the Yankees are the team to beat in the American League.\n\n\n

I feel like any team that thinks they’re better than us, they should know that when we step on the field, we’re coming with ruthlessness and we’re going to step on necks. We’re not here to play. We’re going to get the job done and complete it.<\/p>Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nAfter a 2-4 performance with two stolen bases on Friday, Chisholm went 3-4 with a home run and three RBIs on Saturday, coming close to a home run from becoming the third Yankee to achieve a 30\/30 season, something not seen since Alfonso Soriano in 2003.\n\nChisholm mentioned a recent “conversation” among the players off the field, which helped revitalize the team after losing a division lead in mid-June.\n\n\n

Honestly, everyone started to focus.<\/p>Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe Yankees have performed outstandingly since August 24th, with a 13-5 record, including victories against the [Washington Nationals](\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/wsh\/washington-nationals) and [Chicago White Sox](\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/chw\/chicago-white-sox). Furthermore, they have achieved a 7-4 balance against the Red Sox, Blue Jays, [Houston Astros](\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/hou\/houston-astros), and [Detroit Tigers](\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/det\/detroit-tigers), American League teams with postseason aspirations.\n\nThe New York team will close out this series on Sunday at Fenway Park, facing American League Cy Young Award candidate, [Garrett Crochet](https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/player\/_\/id\/4297835\/garrett-crochet). This will be the last regular season game against a team with a record above .500. Then they will play against the [Minnesota Twins](\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/min\/minnesota-twins), the White Sox and the [Baltimore Orioles](\/mlb\/team\/_\/name\/bal\/baltimore-orioles).\n\n\n

All these games are super important. Getting another win in this place against a really good opponent and with Crochet waiting tomorrow, was a good thing. We hope we can finish a great series.<\/p>Aaron Boone, Yankees manager<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nAs of Saturday, the Yankees have a 45-43 record against teams with over .500 and 26-29 against American League teams with winning records. To advance to the World Series, they will need to improve their performance in October.\n\n\n

We said it all year, that we’ve been playing at the level of others instead of at our own level. We’ve been letting games go. We’ve been missing games. Making mistakes, having bad at-bats and things like that.<\/p>Jazz Chisholm Jr.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
