Last Night in Baseball: Yankees, Cubs and Tigers Join Dodgers in Division Series

There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves.

Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from the weekend in Major League Baseball:

In a decisive Game 3 of the American League Wild Card Series, it was the Yankees advancing over the Red Sox. Thanks to a dominant performance by rookie Cam Schlittler — more on his masterful turn in a bit — New York took Game 3 by a score of 4-0.

There was much more drama in it than that score suggests, too. The Yankees broke a scoreless tie in the fourth with all four runs that they would score for the night, and then the game was about making sure that lead didn’t vanish.

Ryan McMahon, acquired at the trade deadline from the Rockies, did his best to make sure that things worked out for New York.

The Yankees are now the first team under the current wild card format — introduced for 2022 after the most recent collective bargaining agreement permanently expanded the postseason — to come back and win the series after losing Game 1. And against the Red Sox, no less. There’s just a little bit of history between those two teams over the years, in case you weren’t aware. 

As promised: Cam Schlittler. What a night for the Yankees’ rookie. In an elimination game, making his postseason debut, Schlittler was just lights out. He struck out the side in the fifth inning after the Yankees went up 4-0, and became the first-ever rookie to strike out at least 8 batters in a winner-take-all elimination game. Highly specific, sure, but that’s still his name at the top of the list.

He did not stop at that many strikeouts. 

Schlittler’s 11th of the evening set a record for the most for
