New York Yankees extend wild-card lead over Red Sox

The New York Yankees extended their lead in the American League wild-card race following a 1-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox. The win was secured by a solo home run from Paul Goldschmidt, who returned to the starting lineup.

Looking ahead to a scheduled day-night doubleheader against the Red Sox, the Yankees plan to rely on their pitching rotation. Carlos Rodon is slated to start the opener in his third appearance since returning from the injured list due to elbow inflammation. Max Fried is expected to pitch the nightcap, returning from a short stint on the injured list following a bone bruise in his left elbow.
