Cam Schlittler gave the New York Yankees offense an easy assignment in Game 3 of the American League Wild Card Series. With a beyond-dominant Schlittler allowing zero earned runs in eight innings, all the Yankees had to do was cross home plate once, or maybe twice, to keep David Bednar’s heart rate low for a close.
The Yankees managed more than that, scoring four runs. What’s more, they tallied all four in a single inning (the bottom of the fourth), an achievement that was greatly aided by an ear-splitting Yankees crowd in the Bronx.
