Yankees blank Red Sox 9-0 as Rice and Schlittler star
The Yankees opened the AL Wild Card rematch with a 9-0 win over Boston. Cam Schlittler dominated and Ben Rice drove in six runs.
The New York Yankees opened their American League Wild Card rematch with a 9-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium, CBS Sports and Bleacher Report-track recaps confirmed. Cam Schlittler threw 6⅓ scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts. Ben Rice homered twice, including a late grand slam, and finished with six RBIs.
Aaron Judge remained off the Wild Card roster from the midday sticky, so New York’s lineup construction without him remains a series subplot. Game 2 is Wednesday night in the Bronx with a Division Series date against Tampa Bay on the line for a series winner.
Yankees–Red Sox October chapters rarely lack volume. Tuesday’s script was unusually one-sided after Boston managed just three hits.
