Many fans took to Twitter to react to the exciting game at Fenway. One fan said it had been too long since the Yankees had won a game. The Yankees are just 2-8 in their last 10 games. Hopefully for Yankees fans, the team can turn things around.

Other fans are glad the team got the win, but the game should not be this close.

Newly acquired pitcher Scott Effross recorded his first save with the team. Maybe with the struggles of closer Clay Holmes, Effross can fill his role. In Holmes' last five appearances, he has gone four innings, allowing seven earned runs and has one blown save.

Yankees shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa had an incredible game, going 3-for-4 with a home run. It was his first home run of the season and his first as a member of the Yankees.

Kiner-Falefa also came up clutch with a critical sacrifice squeeze to give the Yankees a 3-2 lead in the ninth inning.

"Izzy gets it done" - @Yankees

It's safe to say that this was the Isiah Kiner-Falefa game. What a performance on the big stage!

Isiah Kiner-Falefa has been getting a lot of heat as of late with his recent production. It was nice to see him deliver in the clutch today.

The New York Yankees have blown several leads this past month and it was nice to see them finally pull one out.

While the team won, some fans could not handle going through a close win like this. The Red Sox had runners on first and third base before Scott Effross was able to get Xander Bogaerts to pop out to end the game.

Now fans want the team to win tomorrow and take two out of the three games in the series.

Overall, a much-needed win for the New York Yankees as they look to get out of a second-half slump. The Yankees will try and go for a series victory tomorrow.
