Yankees vs Red Sox analysis with Pete Caldera, SNY’s Anthony McCarron
Yankees beat writer Pete Caldera and SNY’s Anthony McCarron break down the Yankees vs Red AL Wild Card Series.
NEW YORK – After two tense, tightly contested AL Wild Card Series games, it’s a win-or-else Game 3 tonight at Yankee Stadium between the Red Sox and Yankees.
As you might know, today is the 47th anniversary of Bucky Dent’s famous home run in that one-game, 1978 playoff at Fenway Park that sent the Yankees to the AL Championship Series and propelled them toward a World Series title.
And, of course, the Yankees haven’t won a postseason series against the Red Sox since Aaron Boone’s pennant-winning homer in 2003.
That either changes tonight, or it’s the start of a long winter. The winner here advances to the best-of-five AL Division Series against the Blue Jays, starting Saturday at Toronto.
