While the Yankees and Blue Jays play each other three times starting Tuesday, Boston begins a series against last-place Baltimore.

Aaron Judge doubles home the tying and go-ahead runs, and Giancarlo Stanton follows with another home run to cap a 6-3 win.

Stanton hit a go-ahead grand slam over the Green Monster in the eighth inning and the New York Yankees beat Boston 5-3 to tie the Red Sox for the top spot in the AL wild-card race.

New York opens a 7-0 lead in the first three innings and rolls over Boston, pulling to within one game of the Red Sox for the first wild-card berth.

With Boston up by two games over New York in the race for the first wild card, the three-game series kicks off Friday with a heavyweight battle of pitchers.

Kyle Schwarber homers twice and scores four times, and Chris Sale strikes out eight in five innings for the Red Sox.

It’s a contract year, but pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez has had his struggles as the Red Sox battle for a spot in the playoffs.

Garrett Whitlock left Sunday’s game against the Orioles with right pectoral tightness.

Chris Sale and Nathan Eovaldi represent Boston’s best hope for any sort of October run.

After blowing a four-run lead, Boston rallies for another win against Baltimore, 8-6.
