"Back at second base Wednesday night, Chisholm played a huge part in saving the Yankees' season as they beat the rival Boston Red Sox 4-3 in Game 2 of their AL Wild Card Series. And this one was no video game. "Anything to help us win," Chisholm said. "All that was clear before I came to the field today. After I left the field yesterday, it is win the next game.""
""It's what you expect. He's a game-changer. He showed his maturity," New York captain Aaron Judge said. "He showed up at the park today and had the biggest plays for us." Afterward, manager Aaron Boone said Chisholm will start Thursday night against rookie left-hander Connelly Early. A left-handed hitter, Chisholm began Game 1 on the bench with the Yankees facing ace lefty Garrett Crochet. The two-time All-Star entered on defense in the eighth and flied out against left-handed closer Aroldis Chapman with the bases loaded for the second out of the ninth, failing to drive in a run."
Jazz Chisholm Jr. was left out of the Yankees' Game 1 starting lineup and expressed frustration, later saying he played MLB: The Show to relieve stress. He returned to start at second base in Game 2 and raced home on Austin Wells' tiebreaking single in the eighth inning while also making critical defensive plays. His contributions helped the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 4-3 and force a decisive Game 3. Aaron Judge called Chisholm a game-changer who showed maturity, and manager Aaron Boone confirmed Chisholm will start against rookie Connelly Early. Chisholm had one plate appearance in Game 1.
