The first meeting between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox ended with the latter’s win. Even though the Yankees lost the game, they had the win flying in front of their eyes at one moment. It happened in the ninth innings, when the score was 3-2 in favor of the Sox. Anthony Volpe was on the plate and even sent the ball flying, which looked like a home run. But that was not the case. It turned out to be a foul ball, and the Yankees lost the game by a minimal margin in the absence of their captain, Aaron Judge.

The contest certainly lived up to expectations with its thrilling turns. The Sox won after putting up three runs on the board. For them, Rafael Devers scored two, finishing with an average of 0.500 and an OPS of 2.000. In response, the Yankees scored through Falefa and Donaldson, but all eyes were on Volpe. He finished without any runs and had an OPS of 0.500. But a home run could have changed the entire situation.
Given that a home run-like shot was in sight from afar, it got all the praise from the fans. They even celebrated it, but it lasted until the authorities confirmed it was a foul ball. Jomboy Media shared the video of the incident with the caption,
