Facing his former team at Yankee Stadium, Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman entered in the ninth inning and delivered a scoreless relief appearance, leading Boston to a 5-3 victory over the Yankees. It was his 13th save of the year, and his ERA dropped to 0.46.
Red Sox closer Chapman faced his old team, the Yankees, and began the inning by walking Max Schuemann. He then struck out Anthony Volpe. After issuing another walk to Amed Rosario, putting runners on first and second, Chapman steadied himself and retired the next two batters in succession to seal the win. It was his 13th save of the season. He touched 98.7 mph (about 159 km/h) during the outing, proving he still has the gas at age 38.
Chapman has appeared in 20 games this season, covering 19.2 innings. He has allowed just 9 hits, struck out 26 batters, and posted a WHIP of 0.92 with a 0.46 ERA. Chapman is showing he remains one of the elite flame-throwing closers in the league.
