Story summary

In Game 2 of the Yankees-Red Sox wild-card series on Wednesday night, the Yankees defeated the Red Sox 9-2, completing their sweep and advancing to face the Rays in the ALDS. The pivotal moment came when the Red Sox intentionally walked Ben Rice with a runner on second base to pitch to Cody Bellinger. Manager Chad Tracy's strategy backfired as Bellinger hit a three-run home run, extending the Yankees' lead to 8-1 (Boston later scored one run). Knicks player Josh Hart mocked this decision, calling it "dumb as hell" and highlighting how the Yankees used this opportunity to widen their lead. The series ended with the Yankees dominating the Red Sox in both games by a combined score of 18-2, setting up an ALDS matchup starting on Saturday against Tampa Bay at Tropicana Field.
