The Yankees defeat the Athletics in the Wild Card Game, 7 – 2, and will now face their arch-enemy, the Red Sox in the Division Series. They take a quick 2 – 0 lead in the 1st against “opener” Liam Hendriks as Aaron Judge homers after a lead-off walk by Andrew McCutchen. After the A’s waste a couple of good opportunities to get back in the game in the 4th and 5th innings, the Yanks put the game away with 4 runs in the 6th, Luke Voit’s triple off Blake Treinen being the big blow.
