Jazz Chisholm Jr. stepped up big for the New York Yankees on Thursday, delivering a game-saving run against the Boston Red Sox that kept their playoff hopes alive.
Just a day after showing frustration over sitting on the bench, the speedy outfielder turned things around. Chisholm raced from first base and slid headfirst into home plate to score on a sharp single by catcher Austin Wells. The ball hugged the right-field line and rolled toward the corner, but Red Sox right fielder Nate Eaton scooped it up and fired home. It was a close call, but Chisholm beat the throw easily.
Third base coach Luis Rojas signaled him all the way, trusting the 27-year-old’s blazing speed. Chisholm, known for his flashy style on the more reserved Yankees squad, proved why managers keep him in the lineup against right-handers—he’s a spark plug who can change a game in an instant.
This clutch moment came in a tight matchup, helping the Yankees scrape out another win. Fans are buzzing about Chisholm’s role in the team’s push toward the MLB postseason.
