Yankees, Red Sox Scheduled for Wild Card Series

The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox were scheduled to open their best-of-three American League Wild Card Series at Yankee Stadium on September 29, with Game 2 set for September 30. The supplied reports provide schedules and viewing details but do not establish whether either game was played or report a result, so the series outcome remains unknown here. Game 1 was listed for 8 p.m. ET on September 29, with national television coverage on NBC and streaming on Peacock. Game 2 was scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on September 30, also on NBC and Peacock. The September 29 listing identifies Yankee Stadium in the Bronx as the venue for the opener; the Game 2 listing also places the matchup at Yankee Stadium. The series was described as a best-of-three, with the first team to win two games advancing to the American League Division Series. A third game would be needed only if the teams split the first two, according to the schedule information. The reports do not provide confirmation of a Game 3 or identify which team advanced. For the opener, the expected starting pitchers were Boston left-hander Payton Tolle and New York right-hander Cam Schlittler.
