And as if to rub salt in our wounds, Aaron Judge added a two-run homer in the 5th, extending the Yankees' lead to 7-2. Despite our best efforts, including some solid hits and base-running, we couldn't claw back into the game.Final Efforts Fall Short
The Sox showed some fight in the last innings, putting runners on base and threatening to spark a comeback. Notably, Corey Julks reached on a walk in the 9th, and Korey Lee singled, but the Yankees' defense held strong, preventing us from closing the gap.Reflections and Moving Forward
