The Yankees did it again! For the second consecutive year, the Bombers prevailed in the American League Wild Card Game, topping the Athletics by a score of 7 to 2. The team took the lead in the first inning, when Aaron Judge crushed a huge two-run homer.
By picking up a win tonight, the Yankees punched their ticket to the ALDS, where they will face the Boston Red Sox. To say these two teams know each other well would be a massive understatement. They played 19 games together in the regular season, including a three-game series just last weekend.
