Juan Soto’s walk-off single leads Yankees to hard-fought win over Red Sox
NY Post
The Red Sox kept opening the door for the Yankees, who refused to walk through it.
Clearly they were just waiting for the drama to peak before they finally made their move.
After Clay Holmes 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.
Leading off the inning against Red Sox reliever Josh Winckowski, Soto shot a line drive up the middle, past the dive of shortstop Trevor Story, scoring pinch-runner Jon Berti from second to give the Yankees their second straight extra-inning, walk-off win.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
