On Thursday night, Juan Soto’s walk-off single in the 10th inning secured a 2-1 victory for the New York Yankees over the Boston Red Sox. Soto’s hit, which came with a pinch-runner on second, scored Jon Berti and clinched back-to-back walk-off wins for the Yankees for the first time in three years. Aaron Judge, who leads the majors in home runs and RBIs, extended his homerless streak to a career-high 16 games. Gleyber Torres and Danny Jansen hit solo homers for the Yankees and Red Sox, respectively. New York’s win gave them a two-game lead in the AL East and extended their winning streak in series openers. Boston fell further behind in the AL wild card race. In other action, the Tampa Bay Rays ended a three-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Cleveland Guardians, thanks in part to Brandon Lowe’s home run and a strong bullpen performance.
