The New York Yankees’ postseason fears came true on Tuesday night, as their bullpen faltered in a 3-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card series at Yankee Stadium. Max Fried delivered 6.1 strong innings, striking out seven and leaving with a 1-0 lead after Anthony Volpe’s solo home run in the second inning. But reliever Luke Weaver unraveled quickly, walking Ceddanne Rafaela after an 11-pitch battle before giving up a double to Nick Sogard.
