The Yankees played good baseball for eight innings, but with a chance to take a series lead over the Guardians, crapped the bed behind a tiring Wandy Peralta and Clarke Schmidt. Their only hope now is with Gerrit Cole hopefully allowing this series to go the distance and bring it back to The Bronx for Game 5 tomorrow.
While the Yankees provided heartbreak and pain for us, let’s check in with the rest of the league and take a look at some more heartbreak, as every other Division Series came to a close yesterday.
NLDS Game 4
Philadelphia Phillies 8, Atlanta Braves 3
(PHI won series 3-1)
I’m going to put this in the funniest way I can, courtesy of fellow PSA scribe Matt Ferenchick: it’s extremely funny that the whole saga between the Mets and the Braves and their race for the NL East ended with both teams out in their first series and the forgotten child of the division heading to the NLCS.
