Another Tough Loss in Extra Innings 
We Red Sox fans hoped for a nail-biting win against our arch-rivals, the Yankees, but we were given heartbreak instead. Early Struggles Offensively
The game started off on a frustrating note. Jarren Duran, Rafael Devers, and Romy Gonzalez all went down swinging in the top of the 1st inning. To make matters worse, Gleyber Torres hit a solo homer in the bottom of the 1st, giving the Yankees an early lead. Our bats remained quiet with strikeouts from the likes of Tyler O'Neill and Ceddanne Rafaela.A Glimmer of Hope 
Finally, in the 5th inning, we got some life with a solo homer from Danny Jansen, tying the game at 1-1. Wilyer Abreu followed up with a single and a stolen base, but the inning ended without any further runs.Pitcher's Duel Continues
Both teams' pitchers were on point, making it a tight contest. The Yankees couldn't capitalize either, even with men on base. Ryan Criswell, Booser, and Kelly did a solid job in relief to keep the score tied.Missed Opportunities 
We had a real chance in the 9th inning when Tyler O'Neill doubled, followed by a walk to Connor Wong, but it just wasn’t our night. Trevor Story struck out, and Triston Casas flied out, leaving us stranded.Heartbreaking Finish 
Heading into the bottom of the 10th, it was all about holding on. But unfortunately, Juan Soto doubled to left, bringing in the winning run and sealing a 2-1 victory for the Yankees.Looking Forward
It's always hard to lose to the Yankees, especially in extra innings. But there's a lot to take away from this game, including some solid individual performances. Let's bounce back stronger in the next one!Keep the faith, Red Sox Nation!
