what happens if yankees win tonight

If the New York Yankees win tonight (October 3, 2025), they will eliminate the Boston Red Sox in the AL Wild Card Series and advance to the American League Division Series (ALDS). They will face the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS, with Game 1 set to start Saturday at Rogers Centre in Toronto. The Yankees' victory tonight would be a significant win over their historic rivals and keep their pursuit of defending their pennant alive. This series-deciding Game 3 will be played at Yankee Stadium, with the Yankees coming off a 4-0 victory in the wild card deciding game, led by rookie pitcher Cam Schlittler who struck out 12 batters and did not allow a run in 8 innings. The Red Sox's season will be over with this loss, while the Yankees celebrate and prepare for the next round against the Blue Jays.
