After a ridiculous regular season, the Yankees got their postseason run off to the perfect start in 1998. With homefield advantage against the Texas Rangers, the Yankees held serve and won the first two games of the American League Division Series in the Bronx. However, they still had work to do as the series shifted to Texas, needing one more win to advance onto the next round.
They would get it in fairly quick fashion.
October 2, ALDS Game 3: Yankees 4, Rangers 0 (box score)
