SEATTLE – Jorge Polanco hit a game-ending single in the 15th inning, and the Seattle Mariners advanced to the AL Championship Series by defeating the Detroit Tigers for a 3-2 victory on Friday night in the longest winner-take-all postseason game in baseball history.

CHICAGO – Matthew Boyd threw a two-hit ball in the fifth inning, and the Chicago Cubs eliminated the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night for a 6-0 victory that pushed their NL Division Series all the way to a decisive Game 5.

It was all fun and games on the Fox set until Hitler got involved. On the postgame show following the Yankees’ 9-6 comeback in Game 3 against the Blue Jays, David Ortiz, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter were asked how they pronounced rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler’s name when the former Boston Red Sox all-time great […]
Aaron Judge once again did something no one else in baseball has accomplished at this point, delivering perhaps his most iconic Yankee postseason moment yet on Tuesday night. Judge’s game-tying three-run homer that helped fuel the Yankees’ 9-6 come-from-behind victory in Game 3 of the ALDS marked the first time in 2025 that a player […]
Opposing Cam Schlittler on the mound for Game 4 on Wednesday: A parade of Blue Jays relievers.

Yankees starting pitchers have combined for eight innings of giving up 15 runs in three ALDS games. And yet they are still alive partly because of Aaron Judge and partly because the poor who followed Carlos Rodón on Tuesday night were up to the task — and in one case, to a task he had […]
Heroes and Zeros from the Yankees’ 9-6 Game 3 win over the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night: Hero This is your moment, Aaron Judge. The Yankees captain, who has faced criticism in many Octobers and this time, would not allow his team to lose. He blasted a game-tying three-run homer off the […]

The Yankees have not pulled off one of the most dramatic comebacks in history on their own. Sure, the bullpen was fantastic, Aaron Judge shrugged off his playoff woes and Jazz Chisholm Jr. caused a huge blow. But without some terrible defense from the typically solid Blue Jays, the Yankees’ 9-6 win in Game 3 […]
For better or worse, the Yankees so often go the way Aaron Judge goes. And so it took just one memorable swing to come back from the dead, courtesy of their captain, who performed CPR to revive their season and his own post-season legacy. In a game, the Yankees once trailed by five runs in […]
