All four Major League Baseball Wild Card Series reached terminal or near-terminal outcomes Wednesday. Multi-outlet scoreboards confirm: the Chicago White Sox finished a 2–0 sweep of the Houston Astros with a 7–3 Game 2 win; the New York Yankees swept the Boston Red Sox with a 9–2 Game 2 rout at Yankee Stadium; the San Diego Padres swept the Chicago Cubs 2–0 with a 4–1 Game 2 behind Gavin Sheets’ pinch-hit homer; and the Philadelphia Phillies forced a Game 3 by beating the Atlanta Braves 4–3 in 10 innings at Truist Park.

In the Bronx, Max Fried worked six strong innings and Cody Bellinger capped a six-run sixth with a three-run homer, per amNewYork and box scores. In Atlanta, Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper hit back-to-back homers to tie Game 2 in the eighth before Alec Bohm’s 10th-inning solo shot and Andrew Painter’s finish, Bleacher Report and MLB desks reported. San Diego’s pitching again muted Chicago’s bats in the Petco clincher, ESPN and ABC/AP wrote.

Thursday’s only remaining Wild Card game is Phillies at Braves Game 3 at Truist Park, first pitch about 8 p.m. Eastern on NBC and Peacock. The winner faces the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS. Locked Division Series paths: White Sox–Cleveland Guardians, Yankees–Tampa Bay Rays, Padres–Milwaukee Brewers. Watch lineups and starter announcements on MLB.com; gametrackers on ESPN and NBC.
