Through two games in the American League Wild Card series between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox, the bitter rivals are tied 1-1, heading into a decisive Game 3 to decide who advances to the ALDS and who starts planning their October golf outings.
Each game has been decided by a clear storyline. In Game 1 Red Sox manager Alex Cora clearly out-managed Aaron Boone, who made a number of decisions that one could point to as gaffes, which cost his team dearly.
The storyline of Game 2 became base running. With the game tied 3-3, Boston had a chance to break the game open.
