Chapman gave up three hits while striking out two batters across 1.1 scoreless innings to record the save in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Yankees. He did not issue a walk.
AnalysisWith Boston up two runs entering the bottom of the ninth, Chapman made things interesting by allowing three consecutive singles to
Paul Goldschmidt,
Aaron Judge and
Cody Bellinger to begin the inning. The veteran reliever then retired the next three batters he faced to preserve the win and secure the 11th postseason save of his career. After posting a career-best 1.17 ERA and 0.70 WHIP during the regular season, Chapman is a safe bet to receive the vast majority of save opportunities for the duration of the BoSox's postseason run.
