BONUS: ALDS Game 1 Reaction (10/5/24)

The Chase for 28

In this exciting bonus episode of Chase for 28, Chris and AJ dive into Game 1 of the ALDS, where Alex Verdugo delivered a game-winning hit, helping the Yankees to a 6-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his role, Verdugo shined when it mattered most, driving home Jazz Chisholm Jr. with a clutch seventh-inning single that marked the fifth lead change — a postseason record! We break down the intense back-and-forth action, Gerrit Cole's shaky performance, and how the Yankees bullpen stepped up when it mattered. Plus, hear Juan Soto’s thoughts on his first playoff game as a Yankee, and why Aaron Boone trusted Verdugo over rising star Jasson Domínguez. Don't miss the key moments and analysis as the Yankees continue their Chase for 28!
