"Austin Wells lined a go-ahead RBI single down the right-field line in the eighth inning, sending Jazz Chisholm Jr. racing home with the decisive run in a 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night in the Bronx. The win evened the American League Wild Card series at one game apiece and set up a winner-take-all Game 3 on Thursday night."
"But it was Chisholm who changed the game with his legs and his glove. After drawing a walk with two outs in the eighth, he scored from first on Wells' single with a headfirst slide that ignited the Stadium crowd. An inning earlier, he had made a diving stop up the middle to prevent a potential go-ahead run from scoring."
