The Boston Red Sox are one win away from knocking the Yankees out of the playoffs and advancing to the American League Division Series.

Boston pulled off a 3-1 victory over their archrivals on Tuesday night.

The Sox were backed by great pitching performances from starter Garrett Crochet and closer Aroldis Chapman.
