Gleyber Torres and Danny Jansen hit home runs tonight

Leadoff man Gleyber Torres did not hesitate to swing against Criswell as he launched the first homer of the game deep to right field. Torres gave the Yanks a 1-0 lead.

The Red Sox fired back at the top of the fifth inning as Danny Jansen went deep with a home run against Cortes. Jansen put a good swing on the pitch to tie the game.

Ian Hamilton did a decent job of holding the game down, while Clay Holmes prevented the Red Sox from scoring in the extra inning. Juan Soto was the hero of the day as he walked it off for the Yanks while driving in Anthony Volpe.
