Yankees start Happ in opener vs. Red Sox, possibly wild-card game

The New York Yankees still haven't announced who will start the American League wild-card game against the Oakland A's next Wednesday.

But Thursday, before a 12-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays reduced their magic number for clinching home field for the game to one, the Yankees did announce their rotation for the weekend regular-season finale in Boston.

It sure looks like J.A. Happ will be the wild-card starter.

The left-hander, 6-0 with a 2.18 ERA in nine starts with New York, opens the Fenway Park series against Rick Porcello.
