Boone closer to naming WC Game starter

A lengthy evening of numbers-crunching moved the Yankees closer to selecting their starter for Wednesday’s American League Wild Card Game, but manager Aaron Boone said that he is still not prepared to reveal the pitcher’s identity. General manager Brian Cashman traveled to Boston to participate in the discussion, helping the Yankees select from the group of J.A. Happ, Luis Severino and Masahiro Tanaka to start the win-or-go-home contest against the Athletics.
