The Boston Red Sox have a second shot to advance to the ALDS when they take on the New York Yankees in Game 3 of their AL Wild Card series on Thursday, Oct. 2.

This classic rivalry comes down to a final showdown when the Boston Red Sox take on the New York Yankees in Game 3 of their AL Wild Card series.

NEW YORK -- Missed opportunities. The New York Yankees lost Game 1 of the Wild Card Series to the Boston Red Sox because their bullpen, shaky all year, let a one-run lead slip away, but the loss was bookended by missed opportunities.

N EW YORK — Aaron Judge hit a towering three-run homer in the fourth and Jazz Chisholm scorched a tie-breaking shot in the fifth, capping a comeback from a five-run deficit, and the New York Yankees staved off elimination with a 9-6 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3 of the American League Division Series.

After their Game 7, extra-innings win over the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers are early favorites to win a three-peat champ

After another postseason failure, the New York Yankees find themselves in the offseason desperate for a hitter who can provide a spark besides Aaron Judge.

The Yankees, trailing 6-1 going into the bottom of the third, scored twice in the bottom half, getting back-to-back doubles from Trent Grisham and Judge. Bellinger singled and scored later in the inning on Giancarlo Stanton’s sacrifice fly to make it 6-3.

As the Yankees look to address their needs this offseason, here are seven players they should target on the open market.

Former Yankees and Mets manager Buck Showalter calls it like he sees it. After Game 6 of the World Series was potentially decided over a ballpark blunder in the ninth inning, he railed over a “multi-billion-dollar industry” allowing this to happen.
