The Yankees advanced past Boston in a wild-card playoff series, eliminating the Red Sox entirely and earning a matchup against Tampa Bay in the next round. Wild-card series are best-of-three matchups that determine which teams move into the divisional round of the postseason, making a sweep—winning all games without a loss—a complete dominance of the opponent. This victory extends New York's season and sets up an ALDS showdown with the Rays, a team they've faced multiple times in recent October baseball.
