October is when MLB legends are made and Thursday night a Yankee came through with a legendary performance to close out the Wild Card round. The New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox to move on to the ALDS behind a historic performance from Cam Schlittler. He became the first pitcher in MLB postseason history to throw eight scoreless innings with 12 strikeouts and no walks.
