Though the playoffs began yesterday, October baseball starts today.
After Game 1 of the AL Wild Card, the Boston Red Sox are one game up over the New York Yankees.
Entering the seventh inning last night, the Yankees had a 1-0 lead and an ace-worthy performance by starter Max Fried, who was pulled after 117 pitches. Luke Weaver entered the game and allowed two runs.
A ninth-inning comeback seemed possible, as the Yankees ended the game with bases loaded, but in the end, Boston took Game 1, 3-1.
If the Red Sox win tonight, the Yankees’ playoff run is over; if the Yankees win, a winner-takes-all Game 3 is scheduled for tomorrow.
Here’s how to tune in to Game 2 of the AL Wild Card series without cable.
Yankees vs. Red Sox Wild Card Game 2 will start at 6:08 p.m. ET tonight, Oct. 1.
