Juan Soto delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Yankees to a 2-1 win over the Red Sox on Thursday night.
After Clay Holmes entered to grumbles but recorded the final two outs of the top of the 10th, Juan Soto delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the inning to lift the Yankees to a 2-1 win over the Red Sox on Thursday night in The Bronx.A smiling Juan Soto gets ready to get mobbed by teammates after hitting the game-winning RBI single in the Yankees’ 2-1, 10-inning win over the Red Sox on Sept. 12, 2024.
Soto’s game-winning hit was the Yankees’ first with runners in scoring position all night after they had gone 0-for-5 through the first nine innings and left nine men on base — eight of them by Anthony Volpe. Making his first start back in the rotation after pitching in relief last Saturday against the Cubs — a move Cortes admitted he was “upset” about — the southpaw threw five innings of one-run ball while striking out nine and generating 19 whiffs.
Gleyber Torres gave the Yankees a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when he led off with an opposite-field home run off Cooper Criswell.After mostly cruising through the first three innings, Cortes got himself into some trouble in the fourth when he walked Tyler O’Neill and Connor Wong in full counts with one out.
That stung in the top of the fifth when Jansen tagged Cortes’ slider down the middle for a home run that tied the game 1-1.Rafael Devers struck out in all three at-bats he took against Cortes, but still found a way to impact the game with his defense.
