Mookie Betts hit his 30th home run off Aroldis Chapman in the 8th securing the Red Sox victory. Betts finished the game with four hits and five RBIs.  Mashahiro Tanaka went 4 innings allowing 5 runs on 8 hits. For the Red Sox Eduardo Rodriguez went 3 2/3 innings allowing 5 runs on 4 hits and he walked 7. The Yankees and Red Sox may see eachother again in the postseason as a wildcard victory for the Yankees likley will lead to an ALDS matchup.
