Overview
- New York won the winner-take-all Game 3 to clinch the Wild Card series and will face the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS.
- Rookie Cam Schlittler powered the win, reaching 106 pitches and helping stake a 4-0 lead before the late innings.
- In the eighth, McMahon caught Jarren Duran’s foul pop for the second out and tumbled over the railing into the Red Sox dugout.
- Red Sox pitcher Greg Weissert steadied McMahon’s legs as he went over, and McMahon quickly popped up and said adrenaline kept him from feeling any pain.
- McMahon dismissed comparisons to Derek Jeter’s 2004 dive and enters the ALDS as a recent trade-deadline addition who has already delivered a signature defensive moment.
