Giancarlo Stanton of the Yankees homers in the top of the ninth inning, but it’s too little too late as the Red Sox win the AL Wild Card 6-2. They will face the Tampa Bay Rays in Florida on Thursday.

The walks were the big difference in the game, Boston batters drawing seven and the Yankees batters drawing none. Credit goes to the Red Sox pitchers, as from what I saw, the Yankees batters were swinging at strikes. They didn’t do a lot of chasing outside the zone, they just couldn’t make too much solid contact as the Boston hurlers kept them off balance the entire game.
