Following a thrilling 5-3 victory over the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox pitcher Hunter Dobbins sat down with veteran analyst John Smoltz to discuss the game and the team’s recent trajectory. Dobbins emphasized the challenge of facing Aaron Judge, who had been a dominant force for the Yankees this season. ‘Judge is a special talent, and it’s always a tough assignment,’ Dobbins said. ‘But I felt ready to step in and make some pitches.’
When asked about the team’s progress, Dobbins highlighted the collective effort that led to the win. ‘We’ve been working hard to improve our execution and play as a unit,’ he explained. ‘Tonight was a good example of how far we’ve come.’
The Red Sox’s win was significant, as it snapped a recent losing streak and brought them closer to contention in the AL East. Dobbins acknowledged the importance of the victory, especially with the Yankees still in the mix. ‘We know the Yankees are a strong team, but we’re confident in our ability to compete,’ he said. The game is expected to be a crucial test for both teams as the season progresses.
