Then the choreography changed — and the Red Sox nailed the final steps. Protecting that slim lead in the seventh, New York turned to the ‘pen with one out and nobody aboard. Chalk up the opener to a crisp plan, a fearless starter, and a closer who turned a house of horrors into a quiet house call. The Yanks still own plenty of star power, but the series now leans red. Game 2 arrives with New York needing its lineup to square more barrels and its bullpen to land earlier strikes.
