NEW YORK — The New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 9-2 on Wednesday in Game 2 of the American League Wild Card Series at Yankee Stadium, sweeping the best-of-three set, per MLB.com.
Luis García Jr. hit a fourth-inning home run. Max Fried allowed three hits and one run over six innings. Cody Bellinger capped a six-run sixth with a three-run homer and finished with four RBI. The rally began when Spencer Jones reached on a wild-pitch strikeout that former Oriole Adley Rutschman, now Boston’s catcher, didn’t block cleanly; Jones later took third on Rutschman’s throwing error, per MLB.com. Willson Contreras and Nick Sogard homered for Boston.
Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake said Gerrit Cole or Carlos Rodón will start Game 1 of the ALDS; Aaron Judge, on the injured list, hopes to be activated for that series.
Game 1 of the AL Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays is Saturday at 6:30 p.m. ET at Tropicana Field on TBS, truTV, UniMás and HBO Max.
