Story summary

The Yankees clinched victory over the Red Sox in Game 2 of their wild-card series, but one play stood out for its lack of hustle. In the third inning, Nate Eaton of the Yankees hit a bloop single and ran hard to second base, while outfielder Trent Grisham did not run to third base vigorously enough, turning what should have been a single into a double. This moment was noted by manager Luis Rojas, who observed that Grisham continued to be upset about the missed opportunity throughout the rest of the game. The play highlights the Yankees' emphasis on hustle and clubhouse culture despite their overall success in clinching the series win.
