The 2018 American League Wild Card Game was a play-in game during Major League Baseball's (MLB) 2018 postseason contested between the American League's (AL) two wild card teams, the New York Yankees and the Oakland Athletics.[1] The game took place at Yankee Stadium on October 3, starting at 8:08 pm EDT.[2] The Yankees won, 7–2, and advanced to face the Boston Red Sox in the American League Division Series.[3]
This game started a part of the postseason where TBS broadcast postseason games because of the Fox's contract holdout with Optimum. Said holdout would continue until the 2018 World Series.
