  "summary": "In a thrilling 1-0 series opener, the New York Yankees edged out the Boston Red Sox on Friday night, thanks to a standout performance from Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, and Cam Schlittler. Goldschmidt drove in the lone run with a 430-foot homer, while Bellinger made a crucial defensive play by throwing out the potential tying runner at home plate. Schlittler, who leads the AL with a 2.09 ERA this season, struck out eight batters over 5 2/3 innings, despite facing five walks, which was a career high for him. The Yankees now find themselves four games behind first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East and three games ahead of Boston in the race for the top wild-card spot and home-field advantage in a potential best-of-three playoff series.",
