The Boston Red Sox will host the New York Yankees in the AL Wild Card Game

The Boston Red Sox hosted the New York Yankees in an American League Wild Card game Tuesday night after the contestants ’biggest stars went big when their teams needed it the most on Sunday.

Aaron Judge drove the winning streak home with one inning of the Yankees ’1-0 win in the ninth installment from away Tampa Bay Rays. -5 draw against the people of Washington.

The wins helped Boston and New York avoid several tiebreaker opportunities associated with the looming Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays.

Devers ’second home game and 38th of the season came to drive straight to Kyle Finnegan’s midfield 2-1 and one out when Kyle Schwarber made a mistake. Boston won 7-5.

“I know no one believed us at the beginning of the season,” “Devers, the goggles that were on his head in the playoffs, through an interpreter.” This is just our first celebration. “

Homer limited four hits, four RBI afternoons to Devers, brought his teammates out of the mine and called for “Yankees suck!” -Songs from some Boston fans that were heard for much of the afternoon in the crowd at 33,986 Nationals Park.

Meanwhile, at Yankee Stadium, a short circuit by Gio Urshela made a prey like Derek Jeter recklessly loaded into a visiting mine to help New York finish 92-70 and strike the flag of the fifth consecutive post-season after nearly falling into a maze of tiebreaker scenarios. .

“This has been a crazy, wild, hard year,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. It’s okay for admission to come until the last day, but I love our group. “

Both the Mariners and the Blue Jays looked at Sunday’s results from the outside. Seattle lost their regular season final to the Los Angeles Angels 7-3, ending a magical late season that saw the Mariners win 11 of their last 14 matches. The Blue Jays crushed the Baltimore Orioles 12-4, but needed a defeat for the Yankees or the Red Sox to be able to set a tiebreaker to finish the final wild-card berth.

“It hurts,” said AL MVP candidate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. It just makes me stronger to return next year even better than this year. ”

Rougned Odor led ninth with a single against Josh Fleming (10-8), which was just New York’s second hit. Pinch runner Tyler Wade advanced second on Gleyber Torres ’flight to the center warning track, and Anthony Rizzo moved Wade third with one single.

Andrew Kittredge faced a judge who tore a 104.4 mph bus station out of his right-hand glove. The ball jumped toward retracted second basemar Brandon Lowe, whose unbalanced throw home was nowhere near catching the sliding Wade.

The teammates stirred the smiling referee between the first and second, and the fans sang “MVP! MVP!” in front of the franchise during a field interview. The switch single was Judge’s eighth attack on Day 8 or later this season, the most Yankee-playing season since 1961, according to the ESPN Stats & Information survey.

“I wouldn’t say we exhaled,” the judge said. “We still have a lot of work to do.”

That was the common opinion of Alex Sora, Red Sox Manager.

The Red Sox, who had several 163 chances in the game if they had lost on Sunday, were left behind by the Nationals after 5-1, in part due to the unstable start of ace Chris Sale, which only went 2 innings.

Devers led the quarter with 1-2 fast balls from Joan Adon, a 23-year-old right-hander who scored nine strokes in five innings during his debut. Devers added RBI single Erick Fedde to seventh, which brought the guests in 5-3, and Alex Verdugo’s double double, who made the game, tied for 5.

One negative news for Boston: Slugger JD Martinez left in the sixth set with a left ankle sprain.

The Yankees suffered from their own fear of injury after Urshela’s brave bolt into the Tampa Bay well. With two outs in the sixth, Urshela ran 126 feet from the field formation that moved after the Austin Meadows pop-up window. He took that step before he reached the top of the Rays trench, and then seemed to jump from the warning track at full speed to an empty spot on the bench.

Referee Angel Hernandez turned over the railings, chasing him to confirm the starting call, while Tampa Bay players quickly waved towards the coach. Boone ran across the field and was followed by medical staff. Pinstriped teammates gathered near the well entrance when Urshela was inclined.

“He looked like a missile was flying there,” Boone said. “It scared me to death.”

Urshela got up about a minute later and was limped back on the Yankees bench to sing “Gio! Gio!”. Amazingly, he returned for a moment to a short stop despite a stiff bruise on his left thigh. bat in the eighth installment, then replaced by Andrew Velazquez in the ninth.

Jeter, who was elected to the Hall of Fame last month, bloodied his face by diving into the seats of the third seat when he popped up a pop-up window against rival Boston 1. July 2004.

Urshela isn’t sure how he landed, but he’s glad it wasn’t in his head. He opened his eyes after the collision and saw the ball in his glove and worried for a moment that he was seriously injured.

“It felt like a lot of pain at the moment,” he said.

Boone said there was no structural damage, but Urshela will be reassessed on Monday before he determines his future availability. The Slick-Fielding infielder was more prominent after the limp game.
