Two of Main League Baseball’s greatest blood rivals — the New York Yankees and Boston Purple Sox — opened their best-of-three American League Wild Card Sequence on Tuesday. The 94-68 Yankees, by advantage of ending forward of the Purple Sox within the standings, could have home-field benefit all through the sequence. The 89-73 Purple Sox, meantime, occupy the second wild card spot within the AL and are the No. 5 seed in that half of the postseason bracket.
In Recreation 1, Purple Sox ace Garrett Crochet dominated the Yankees and Boston acquired simply sufficient offense, together with a two-run single by Masataka Yoshida, to beat the Bombers.
The winner of this sequence will advance to the Divisional Spherical, the place they will play towards the Blue Jays, the No. 1 seed within the AL and their different division rival.
