Payton Tolle's Fourth Inning — ALWCS G1
Yankees 1, Red Sox 0 After 4
The Red Sox had the bullpen working after George Lombard Jr. opened the inning with an infield single and Rosario walked on a 3-2 pitch that he used ABS to get.

However, Anthony Volpe popped out in foul ground, Spencer Jones lined into a double play, and the Yankees stranded the runners. George Lombard Jr. was WAY too far off the bag and let Tolle and the Red Sox off the hook.
5-4 double play 👏

The Yankees have struggled with runners in scoring position tonight so far, and with just the slim 1-0 lead, leaving runners on will come back to bite them.
