Jazz Chisholm Jr. among four players committing errors in Yankees’ loss vs Red Sox

Jazz Chisholm Jr. has provided a solid performance in his tenure with the New York Yankees this season. While he has delivered impressive statistics at various points throughout the year, contributing significantly to the team’s victories, his recent error, alongside other three teammates, were costly in the series opener against the Boston Red Sox.

Addressing the media, Chisholm Jr. discussed his critical error at second base, where an errant throw to the first baseman widened the path for the Sox’s victory on Thursday night. Also, Paul Goldschmidt, Luis Gil and Ben Rice were the players that committed the errors that costed a victory against Boston.

Chisholm Jr.’s miscue was just one in a series of mistakes that paved the way for the Red Sox to seize the series opener against the Yankees by 6-3. However, it’s important to note that the Yankees’ offense also fell short, with typically reliable power hitters like Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge struggling to connect with home runs, or to even register hits.

Chisholm Jr. made a concerted effort to compensate for his defensive lapse with a strong showing at the plate. Notching two hits, scoring a run, and driving in an RBI, Chisholm Jr. stood out offensively, sharing the spotlight with teammates Paul Goldschmidt and Trent Grisham.
