The New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 9-2 in Game 2 of the AL Wild Card Series, completing a two-game sweep. Max Fried pitches six strong innings, while Luis García Jr. and Cody Bellinger hit home runs as New York pulls away at Yankee Stadium.
The outcome matches a broader pattern from the series: Fried dominates Boston again after a similar run in the playoffs the previous year. Yahoo Sports also highlights that García and Bellinger contribute key extra-base offense in the same game, helping turn early production into a wide margin. Across reports, the emphasis centers on Fried’s pitching and the Yankees’ power hitting rather than any one Red Sox response.
While the sources agree on the final score and the main performers, they vary slightly in focus. One emphasizes Fried leading for a second straight year in playoff success versus Boston, while another spotlights Bellinger’s four RBIs in the decisive offensive burst.
