The New York Yankees not only took care of their rivals on Friday night, but they also secured that the American League Wild Card Game will take place at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees hit four home runs at Fenway Park on Friday to beat the Boston Red Sox, 11-6. The Yankees' big night helped them tie the major league record for home runs in a season, with two more games left to break that mark. J.A. Happ enjoyed the support and pitched six innings to earn his 17th win of the season. Happ gave up four runs and struck out seven on the night.
Gary Sanchez, Aaron Hicks, Luke Voit, and Aaron Judge all went deep in the win, with Judge's long ball tying the major league record. Sanchez drove in two, while Giancarlo Stanton and Gleyber Torres each drove in runs in the Yankees' 46th road win and 99th win of the season.
The Red Sox have already clinched the AL East with 106 victories, and was hoping to make things a little more difficult on their rivals, but failed to do so. Steve Pearce went deep and drove in four, as Boston fell to just 56-23 at Fenway Park this season.
The Yankees will now host the Oakland Athletics in the American League Wild Card Game on Tuesday night, as they also defended home field well this season. They went 53-28 at Yankee Stadium this year and hit 144 home runs in home games. Before they get there, they will play the Red Sox for two more games this weekend to end the regular season.
