The New York Yankees will try to close out their series against the Baltimore Orioles in front of their home crowd at Yankee Stadium Thursday at 7:37 p.m. ET.
The Yankees are coming off an historic 3-2 12th inning win on Wednesday.
New York's Raul Ibanez became the first man in history to hit two home runs in a playoff game he didn't start.
Ibanez homered with one out in the ninth inning off Baltimore closer Jim Johnson to tie the game 2-2. He then hit the first pitch from Brian Matusz leading off the 12th to win it.
"It was a great experience. We do it as a team. We stay after it," Ibanez said. "I'm blessed to come up and have the opportunity like that. We do it together. It's about a team and about winning."
