Yankees led 1-0. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"2\">The Yankees scored another run in the 5th inning when Cody Bellinger singled to right, sending Austin Wells home. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"3\">The Yankees were up 2-0 before Willson Contreras hit a home run to right-center, the first Red Sox run in 15 innings. Red Sox got on the board, Yankees led 2-1. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"4\">Spencer Jones stole second and ended up getting to third in the 6th inning after an error, eventually scoring when George Lombard Jr. hit a single.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"5\">The Yankees continued to pile it on, scoring four more times, including a Cody Bellinger home run triple, all in the 6th inning. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"6\">Nick Sogard gave the Sox a bit of hope in the 7th, hitting a home run and shortening the Yankees&#8217; lead to 8-2. <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"7\">Ultimately, the Red Sox could not overcome the beating and fell to the Yankees, 9-2.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"8\">The Red Sox were without Roman Anthony in Game 2 and, if they advanced, would have continued to be without the 22-year-old until a potential ALCS appearance.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"9\">The Yankees will advance to the ALDS to face the Tampa Bay Rays.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Red Sox season comes to an end in the Bronx, in lopsided 9-2 loss to rival Yankees CONCOURSE,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":361497,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[134294,134293,134291,993,134292,7064,128,13917,78392,6964,16300,26708,56202,10165,11539,20,9,24,127248,63,16811,134290,14719,1536,129,131,130,22077,16348,16301],"class_list":["post-361496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-4th-inning","tag-5th-inning","tag-6th-inning","tag-baseball","tag-bit","tag-boston","tag-bronx","tag-cody-bellinger","tag-end","tag-game","tag-home-run","tag-hope","tag-lose","tag-loss","tag-massachusetts","tag-mlb","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nick-sogard","tag-nyc","tag-red-sox","tag-red-sox-season","tag-score","tag-team","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news","tag-wednesday-night","tag-win","tag-yankees"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=361496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/361496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/361497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=361496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=361496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=361496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
