The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will meet in the postseason for the first time since 2004 after the Bronx Bombers defeated the Oakland A's, 7-2, in the American League Wild Card Game at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night.
Right fielder Aaron Judge went 2-for-3 with a walk, and his two-run home run in the first inning sparked the Yankees as they ripped off their second wild-card win in as many seasons:
First baseman Luke Voit tacked on a two-RBI triple during a four-run sixth inning that saw the Yankees blow things wide open, and Giancarlo Stanton added a towering solo blast in the eighth for good measure.
