The Yankees lost the first game of a doubleheader against the Red Sox on 29 August 2026. Sloppy defence and quiet batting were blamed for the result.
Game two has Max Fried on the mound for New York, facing Boston's Alec Gamboa. Both clubs cannot afford to drop more games. The series has a clear connection to October playoff spots, making the stakes extremely high for the two squads.
