The Boston Red Sox have a second shot to advance to the ALDS when they take on the New York Yankees in Game 3 of their AL Wild Card series on Thursday, Oct. 2.

After their Game 7, extra-innings win over the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2025 World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers are early favorites to win a three-peat champ

Lefty Max Fried (19-5, 2.96 ERA) starts Game 2 for the Yankees while Trey Yesavage takes the mound for the Blue Jays having made only three starts in his career. First pitch is scheduled for 4:08 p.m. ET at the Rogers Centre In Toronto.

NEW YORK -- Missed opportunities. The New York Yankees lost Game 1 of the Wild Card Series to the Boston Red Sox because their bullpen, shaky all year, let a one-run lead slip away, but the loss was bookended by missed opportunities.

This classic rivalry comes down to a final showdown when the Boston Red Sox take on the New York Yankees in Game 3 of their AL Wild Card series.

The Yankees, trailing 6-1 going into the bottom of the third, scored twice in the bottom half, getting back-to-back doubles from Trent Grisham and Judge. Bellinger singled and scored later in the inning on Giancarlo Stanton’s sacrifice fly to make it 6-3.

Toronto Blue Jays rookie right-hander Trey Yesavage left his postseason debut with a no-hitter and a record Sunday. Yesavage struck out 11 in 5 ⅓ no-hit innings on Sunday against the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the American League Division Series ( GameTracker ). That strikeout total easily set a new Blue Jays record in a playoff game.

After another postseason failure, the New York Yankees find themselves in the offseason desperate for a hitter who can provide a spark besides Aaron Judge.

After an epic Game 3 of the World Series that lasted 18 innings and 6 hours, 39 minutes, Shohei Ohtani must turn around and pitch later the same day in Game 4. Derek Jeter isn’t sure how his body will react. “I don’t know, I’ve never pitched before,” the Yankees legend said on the Fox Sports post-game show. “You know what I mean?”
