What channel is Yankees vs. Red Sox on today? Time, TV schedule, live stream to watch AL Wild Card Game 1

A pair of Boston natives put the Red Sox on the brink of elimination Tuesday, with Cam Schlittler and Ben Rice turning in stellar performances in a 9-0 Yankees rout.

Now the Sox will rely on a former Yankee, Sonny Gray, to keep them within striking distance as they try to force a Game 3 in their Wild Card series.

The 36-year-old Gray has a 3.26 ERA in six postseason starts dating back to a 2013 outing for the A's, and he has generally pitched well against New York in his career, with a 3.67 ERA in 10 starts. He pitched into the seventh in a win at Yankee Stadium in early June and the Sox would be thrilled with another effort like that Wednesday after using five relievers in Game 1.

The Yankees will also roll out a veteran starter, with Max Fried set to make his 23rd postseason appearance and 15th start. He had a brilliant outing in last year's Wild Card series against the Sox but saw the bullpen waste his 6 1/3 shutout innings in a Game 1 defeat. Of course, a lack of offense was a big part of the problem in that one and the Yankees will hope that isn't an issue Wednesday after seeing Rice collect four hits and George Lombard Jr. three in the opener.

Can the Sox stay alive or will the Yankees move on to face the Rays? Here's all you need to know to watch Game 2.

Game 2 of the Yankees vs. Red Sox series will air nationally on NBC, with Jason Benetti, Joe Girardi, Lou Merloni and Anthony Rizzo on the call. Fans can also stream the games with DIRECTV, which offers a free trial to new subscribers.
