The New York Yankees made history by sweeping the Boston Red Sox in the Wild Card Series, outscoring their opponents 18-2 across two games. This win marked the first time in MLB history that a team scored at least 90% of the total runs in a postseason series with 20 or more combined runs. In Game 1, Cam Brann won a 9-0 decision at Yankee Stadium, while in Game 2, Max Fried secured a dominant 6-1 victory, culminating in a six-run sixth inning.
Cody Bellinger hit a three-run homer, and Luis Garcia Jr. contributed a solo shot. The Red Sox, who hit .117 as a team, failed to register any runs in either game, marking a 26-inning postseason scoreless streak that ended with a lone run against the Yankees. This win extends New York's dominance in this rivalry, as they also eliminated Boston from last year's Wild Card Series.
The Yankees now advance to the Division Series for a third consecutive season against the AL East's top-seeded Tampa Bay Rays.
