Red Sox vs. Yankees AL Wild Card Game 3 Highlights (10_2_25) _ MLB Highlights

The Bronx is buzzing two teams linked by the biggest name in the history of the game Babe Ruth tonight the Yankees and Red Sox meet the most significant game of its kind a must win and experience counts for Alex Bregman he's haunted these bombers for years stand and judge were in the World Series last season and yet each franchise places their fate in the hands of babes Cam Schindler and Connelly early make their postseason debuts on the biggest stage in baseball with the biggest stakes imaginable. And here is Cam Schindler who grew up in the suburbs of Boston his entire family were Red Sox fans. He said they've now all converted to Yankee fans. The winner heads to Toronto to open up the division series on Saturday chance to make an early statement against Durant and a broken back little liner their soft liner that Chisholm and some kindling wood after that. This is Trevor story four for nine in this series story sky on the infield rice underneath and there are two down. Here comes Alex Bregman three for seven with an RBI in the first two games. The breaking ball this one's sky shallow right field out territory rice going back with help from Jesse Oh in and out of his hand he had it he had it in the glove that the two handed he might have been able to hold on jazz was there judge was there and it goes off the edge of his glove. Second life here for Bregman one and two big out to get right here steps into the line the one to pitch a break man rightly called in the outside corner he took it one two three in the first a fine start for Cam Schindler. Well you'd understand if Connolly early looks around it feels like he's a goldfish in a giant fishbowl. He's never pitched in an environment like this. And he is the youngest pitcher to start a postseason game for the Red Sox since Babe Ruth and that was in 1916. He's gone a sinker at ninety five and early an early strikeout. And here we go. Judge against early is high in the air and a shallow right center field say Don and a break you will you're taking three steps for my one. He's in there to make the play. Here's Cody Bellinger two down and bases empty early throws and a ground ball to short story backhands throw to first in time the kid is up for it Connolly early three up three down he looks like it's a Legion game 10 years ago. Moss is two for three here in the postseason just coming off the bench for his last 14 now he's 20 for fifty four hundred clip count goes two and two to Yoshida and he bloops one in a left field on a cutter at ninety seven a leadoff man aboard for Boston as Masa Yoshida has his third hit. That's a nice pizzeria. And now say Don Rafaela 0 4 6 in the series. Damn deal that's why I wanted this inside with that sinker again. It worked for him his second strikeout there's one down here in the second inning that brings up Nathaniel Lowe 0 4 3 strike three he's a sinker at 1 0 and as you said that he kind of set him up with that pitch inside before this revise to forty one fifteen homers and fifty runs batted in during the regular season swing line and that's one on bounce the bulky two hopper throws on a lot those a little bit high but then like the tall kid which makes the play and that is well done no runs one hit no errors and a man left me and Lou were in here earlier today and Stan was the only one out there doing early batting practice hitting off a machine working on fastballs into him and driving him to right wing on a hit to the gap and left center field hit really well it's tag it's off the fence and it bounces back in digging for two it's going to be close he slides in with a double big day he whipped that baby up off the fence the Red Sox on a blast he thought it was one nothing you rarely see John Carlos stand miss on a home run and he did miss that Aaron Boone playing the momentum but early he's been awesome against lefty he's gone there and early fools the left hander there's mud Rosario to seventy six and it is popped up shallow right center field say Don and a break you come to gather and will your rather emphatically is there to make the play two men down and here comes the hero from last night both defensively and offensively with his legs jazz chisel and it is strike three Cole fastball on this is old hat for the kid we go to the third scoreless 36 pitches for Cam Schlittler through the first two innings they struck out three not walked anybody giving up one hit to one breaking ball popped up playable third base it's going to be Rosario under two hand catch Romi has not looked comfortable at the plate and he's 0 for six with a strikeout he had a phenomenal regular season swing and a miss tip actually held on by Wells another strikeout for Big Cam that's his fourth two down here in the third back to the top of the order Duran swing and a miss drop by Wells throws the first to complete it K to three strikeout number five for Schlittler he goes one two three retired the last six when you speak about debuts Connolly early struck out eleven in his debut in five innings that was against the athletics which tied a Red Sox record strikeout number four as Volpe chased down fell down to and O came all the way back and dropped a hook on his Austin Wells two for six with an RBI in the first two games perfect pitch sweeper Wells frozen and with each pitch and strikeout it feels like the confidence is growing their fates in the hands a couple of youngins there's a ball hit to the right side past the second baseman in the right field off the bat a transition second Yankee hit comes with two outs and brings up Aaron Judge chopped on the left side Bregman's got the second half Crowe hopping to throw the first in time they got him Connolly early. Wow what a postseason debut having one of those throwback years to what he shined in twenty eighteen and nineteen story right field judge a few steps back and now stops now Bregman swings and sends Judge towards the line stops there and that's a helper for Slater one pitch out of Bregman who he has gotten twice tonight on a strikeout and a fly out to right him. Schlittler is rolling eight consecutive men retired only had one base runner that was Yoshida. He does the same thing again as he lets it travel deep Yoshida a couple of hits for the Red Sox tonight same outcome same approach he dropped the yellow right hand hitting center fielder pitch swing on hit the jazz second baseman on the right side throws over in time and that'll do it. Nice inning by Cam Schlittler. There are those numbers for Bellinger against Southpaw's three fifty one swing on and sent the center field playable by Rafaela and again the left and then he catches it now and Bellinger hustling is always he's at second base. It looked like at the last second a break was darting in coming in from right field Rafaela looked like he finally engaged and tried to make the catch and didn't make it. And here we go with Stanton at the plate a hard double off the bullpen fence last time up taking inside ball for that works as well. The middle board now for Ben Rice the first walk to the ball game. Well this at bat is the reason why Aaron Boone chose to go with Ben Rice the hot swinging bat got us a spot here and he does it again. Rice he's gone early early in this game has got the key to Ben Rice and here's Rosario he flied out to right field on a 2 to pitch in the second inning he's at third base and Rosario Rosario and that's why they traded for a man Rosario. What are you going to do. I'm going to hit the left hand the pitching second time around this team in pinstripes. It's just a different beast. They've made the adjustment. The speed of the Yankee base runners the difference and it's the little things the little things that make the big difference and Rafaela couldn't come up with that ball swing and a drive to the gap and right center field that will get down Stanton will have to hold at third. Jazz Chisholm has loaded him up with that single and that sets up for Anthony both the Yankees against young not only early hope he stands in struck out in a 2 2 pitch eyeball base hit a pick up at least the one he's loaded one out and that one is into a field of bright who comes up. They will hold Rosario as the throw is backed up by early to nothing. The both the RBI just take it where it's pitch. You've got enough strength to get it through and they've been doing that. It's all started with the kind of gift double by Bellinger that Rafaela missed three consecutive hits by the Yankees. Here's Austin Wells bases loaded to nothing Yankees here in the fourth with one out spoiled one. It was a little bit off the plate and we had catcher interference. Yes we did. That's going to bring in Rosario the home plate umpire point into the catcher Wells is still standing right near the batter's box. Was it a was it a violation. There was no one whatsoever. The foul tip off the glove that the umpire here's so he he thought it was catcher's interference based on the sound the bat did not hit the glove. There is no catcher's interference on the field is overturned. Austin retains their challenge. It's Dan I.S. Sonia our crew chief after the review came back to a pause in the action. It's been for everybody swing and bouncing ball right side off the glove of a first baseman here comes Rosario just coming home. He scored two more on the board it's four nothing New York the defense of the Boston Red Sox is falling apart. Nathaniel Lowe is a terrific first baseman. So Raphael has made a mistake that Daniel Lowe has made a mistake. Wow wow they are rocking here at Yankee Stadium for nothing lead one out runners at first and second Fred Grisham they got a base hit the right field his last time up Grisham to right and a break who is there. Volpe at second will not go anywhere. I think Connelly early deserved a better fate than he got tonight. Not great defense and just snake bitten in this inning. Yeah there was some weak hit jam shot seeing eye singles Jeff Chisholm dumping in the fly ball that fell in the outfield was a big one. He threw the ball well but just kind of all unraveled here in the bottom of the fourth first pitch to judge hit him. Oh brother I don't love the bases judge walking out towards the mound 96 mile an hour and he's not happy and I don't blame him. The Yankees have batted around. Well he hit he hit him on the wrist. Ninety six mile an hour fastball here's Bell and Drew pops it up in a shallow center field back when it goes story and comes down and Raphael Cole and everybody off and the Duran and his hip pocket he's there to make the play ending over bad defense in the inning for the Red Sox and Schlittler got a lead now at five strikeouts he hasn't walked anybody in Nathaniel Lowe his first hitter here struck him out looking first time right back up the middle and that one has eyes it gets through Nathaniel Lowe leads off the fifth. So this is the back end of the second time through for the Red Sox against Schlittler that hit was the third of the night. Here's Narvaez grounded out the short swing and a miss. That's a strikeout. He's got six one out one on Willier a brave right fielder and he is also gone chasing Schlittler seven strikeouts tonight. Romi's been a very productive hitter for them but 0 4 7 right now in the series. Swing and a drive to the right field that's down for a hit. Beautiful opposite field stroke low up to second and the Red Sox have a two out rally brewing to one for Jaron Duran and now the Red Sox have Jaron Duran up. This will be the third time that he has seen Schlittler a chance for Boston to punch back. Did he go. Yes he did. Third base umpire John Lucas said Duran win. I don't do it. Eight strikeouts for Cam Schlittler France two and a fifth. Here's the pitch. Trevor drives one into left field sinking down and that is a hit in front of Bellinger. So story is a board and for the second straight inning the Red Sox have the lead off man aboard. There's Bregman he's over to strikeout looking and a flat array. Good base runner will not go this one to second Chisholm. Good scoop by Volpe who's been a wizard on the infield in this series. That's a pick right there. Low throw jazz off balance through it. Volpe dug it out for him really and really saved it. Good scoop by Volpe there. But there's nine oh two count. He's got eight strikeouts. He's got nine. Yoshida way out of the strike zone for that one. Tell you one thing too you can think about the current season but you can dream on the future with Schlittler and Cole and freed and others coming for the Yankees he has been dominant tonight. Swing and a miss struck him out a dandy 10 strikeout performance through six innings for a rookie Cam Schlittler in an elimination game he has been brilliant having Schlittler throw this way with the way free through the other night and you know what Rodon is capable of. Certainly bodes well but they got to get through the next couple of innings and Steven Matz now pitches for Boston jazz over the head of Romy Gonzalez Chisholm and his speed aboard a beautiful part of the postseason and everybody just played and it was you know what it's an entirely new season you flip the script you forget what's happened that's called strike three a good pitch from Matt's on the inside corner there's Austin Wells the left hand lefty here and a ground ball fielded low story back to Wells to get the second base that's been a problem for Trevor last week of the season chance to add to it now for Grisham build his choice in the air to story my papa on the left side Bregman behind the bag is underneath it and the little back pedal he's there to make the play inning over most strikeouts in a postseason debut in the history of the New York Yankee franchise the big maple at the bottom there are some amazing names on this list. That's great day for Getty Red Ruffey. All he does is continue to pour strikes sky high playable challenges the guy coming harder chisels there and he gets out of the way wisely smart move by jazz and you get a big smile from the captain and right dance and he's got there but he heard some size 17 is coming right out of think of the circumstances for a 24 year old in his first postseason start must win game by as this is playable Wells right there two outs in the seventh inning this ninety five pitches already he finishes this inning I do not see him coming back out for the for the eighth this could be the last we see him this guy is turning into a rookie sensation a rookie hero for the Yankees in this elimination game his 11th strikeout a 1 2 3 7 John Boy and many others have taught us how to read lips he's throwing strikes hey he's going back out going back out there we're playing some old school baseball you're going to see it with your eyes and he comes on to the mound in the eighth with 11 strikeouts this season began for him in double a nine starts 10 appearances climbed to triple a five starts Uri Yankee his velocity and stuff has been on point tonight playing in a striking out making an even breaking ball up top he is putting it on showing out well he's got 12 strikeouts by the youngster against the White Sox camp through 100 pitches that was on August 30th say what that when he comes off the mound whether the next at the end of the inning whatever the ovation is going to be ginormous going on a little loop or down the left down the third base side look at me I don't get hurt and the man catches and falls into the dugout he did a total back flip and a man is up and he's good to go wow what a play he went full speed into the third base dugout flipped over the rail and made the catch their night right there to congratulate him and and Ryan McMahon brought in at exactly the right time evidently he just slipped the ball to somebody right there and Bellinger's big smile on his face we talked about the elite defense of Ryan McMahon he never stopped went out went over flipped over that's a gamer right there folks here's story swinging a ground ball to bulky bulky over the first and that'll do it listen to this crowd camp Schlittler everybody dominating the Red Sox tonight that's twelve strikeouts shutout performance through eight camp Schlittler watching now as Bednar pitches for the third time in three days the loudest ovation we heard from this crowd tonight was when Schlittler went back out for the eighth inning and that Mrs. that's a walk for David Bednar Yoshida bounces one to jazz he will get the out there slow to transfer it and it was slowly hit this one out two outs away from a trip to Toronto bringing ball swing and a man struck him out two down here tonight it's going to be an all time roar when this is over in a couple of minutes David Bednar third night on duty swing and a pop down the left field line looking for a big man he's got room he's there and the Yankees have won it they win this wild card round and eliminate the Boston Red Sox the final score for nothing New York it's on to Toronto play Frank what a good one what a good one and camp Schlittler boy he has written his name in concrete in Yankee history with a 12 strikeout eight inning shutout finished off by David Bednar this is just absolutely fabulous
