What to know ahead of Red Sox-Yankees Wild Card Series rematch

The New York Yankees will host the Boston Red Sox in a best-of-three American League Wild Card Series rematch beginning Tuesday, one year after Cam Schlittler struck out 12 over eight scoreless innings to eliminate Boston in the same round. The Red Sox overcame a 15.5-game division deficit as late as June 19, including a four-game sweep of the Yankees at Fenway Park from June 25-28, to reach the postseason. The winner will advance to face the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in the AL Division Series.
