Cam Schlittler's historic postseason debut will be what everyone remembers from the Yankees' Game 3 victory over the Red Sox in the teams' do-or-die contest reminiscent of similar postseason clashes in 2003 and 2004. The rookie was brilliant, twirling eight scoreless innings while striking out 12. New York got all the offense they needed in a four-run fourth inning and are now on to an ALDS match-up against the Blue Jays.
Giancarlo Stanton, who hit a double in the second inning, is thankful his mental mistake of assuming his blast to left-center was headed out of the yard will be easily forgotten. And he was quick to take accountability for not hustling out of the box during a post-game interview in the celebratory locker room.
