Summary
- Jazz Chisholm Jr. scores winning run from first base

- Rookie pitchers to start decisive Game 3 for both teams
On October 2nd, 2025, the New York Yankees kept their season alive with a dramatic 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox in Game 2 of the Wild Card series. The game was tied 3-3 in the eighth inning when Jazz Chisholm Jr. drew a two-out walk and then scored all the way from first base on a single by Austin Wells, barely sliding in safely under the catcher's tag.
Earlier, the Yankees had escaped a high-pressure jam in the top of the seventh, with reliever Fernando Cruz getting a key out to preserve the tie. This set the stage for Chisholm's heroics, which capped a whirlwind 24 hours for the Yankees outfielder.
The decisive Game 3 will feature a matchup of rookie pitchers, with the Yankees turning to Cam Schlittler and the Red Sox expected to start Connelly Early. Both teams will be fighting to advance to the American League Division Series, with the winner making history as the first team to overcome a Game 1 loss in the new best-of-three Wild Card format.
