Another chapter in one of baseball’s most prolific rivalries will be written tonight when the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox face off in a do-or-die elimination game.
After dropping Game 1 of the AL Wild Card series, the Yankees came back to win Game 2, 4-3.
With the season on the line, catcher Austin Wells came through in a major moment with a line drive that allowed Jazz Chisholm Jr. to cross home plate, breaking the tie in the eighth inning and putting the Yankees ahead by what turned out to be the game-winning run.
With things all tied up, it’s back to Yankee Stadium tonight for one last win-or-go-home game.
