The Yankees were off to a slow start at the plate, falling behind as far as 4-0 in the fourth inning. But thanks to some stellar offense by Judge, Cabera, Trevino, Volpe, and Soto, the Yankees were able to turn things around. Soto would also prove his value in the field by making a critical play in the ninth to preserve the Yankees now 5-4 lead. 

​

On the mound Jonathan Loaisiga (W) was able to keep it to zero runs in two innings with the Save going to Clay Holmes. Simply put, The bombers stepped up their game in the field while making great decisions at the plate, taking the slow and steady approach to get the W.
