Sport 1 of this Wild Card Collection pivoted on these choices:
Pink Sox supervisor Alex Cora entrusted his ace, Garrett Crochet, to throw a career-high 117 pitches.
Yankees supervisor Aaron Boone pulled his ace, Max Fried, after 102.
It was not the one purpose the Yankees misplaced 3-1 on Tuesday evening. It was not the lone space of condemnation or concern that instantly put their 2025 season on life help. But it surely was probably the most obtrusive factor in why the Yankees want a two-game successful streak towards the Pink Sox or their season ends and the query if they'll ever beat one other heavyweight in October continues.
