Looking at Story

Story went 1-for-3, with a double, for Boston against the Yankees in Game 1 on Tuesday. This was after he did not have a hit in each of his previous four games for the Red Sox.

Now, Story will be aiming to make an impact as Boston looks to keep their postseason run alive. Story is a key part of Boston’s roster, so it will be intriguing to see if he can come in clutch for them in Game 2.
