Yankees to host AL wild-card game; tie MLB home run record with 264

BOSTON -- Yankee Stadium will be hosting at least one more baseball game this year.

Thanks to an 11-6 rout of the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Friday night, the New York Yankees solidified home-field advantage in Wednesday's American League wild-card game against the Oakland Athletics.

Whichever team wins that game will advance to the AL Division Series, where it will face the Red Sox beginning Oct. 5 at Fenway Park.

The Yankees locked themselves into hosting the wild-card game in powerful fashion, blasting four home runs for the second straight game.
