There have been 40 winner-take-all Game 5s in Division Series history since the best-of-five series was added to the postseason docket in 1995, when MLB expanded to allow a Wild Card team from each league. That list grew by two in 2025, courtesy of the Mariners' thrilling 15-inning win over

NEW YORK – The 2025 Yankees are gone sooner than they expected, undone by a team they never quite solved. For all their late-season fight and the backs-against-the-wall drama of Aaron Judge’s unforgettable October moment a night earlier, they ran out of answers against the Blue Jays on Wednesday at

NEW YORK – The home clubhouse doors at Yankee Stadium remained shuttered longer than anticipated late Wednesday, the 2025 Yankees speaking in hushed tones as they shared the room for the final time as a full group. Some of the faces will be back. Others won’t. It’s the nature of

NEW YORK -- The Blue Jays’ ALDS win was built on the types of performances players have worked their entire lives for, from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to Trey Yesavage, Ernie Clement and so many more in that clubhouse. In the 5-2 Game 4 victory, John Schneider had his finest hour

NEW YORK -- Aaron Judge approached the on-deck circle in front of the first-base dugout with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning in Game 4 of the American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium. Actually, he moved a bit closer to the field. There he was, the

The NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Montreal Canadiens, 5-2, on Wednesday night in their home opener at Scotiabank Arena. The crowd was thrilled, to be sure. But the fans in attendance weren't ready to leave the venue after the game ended. That's because there was some other business to

NEW YORK -- He’s here, he’s there, he’s everywhere, he's Ernie Clement. Yankee Stadium buzzed with energy in Game 4 of the American League Division Series, but the one guy that was right in the middle of everything wasn’t one of its own. It was Clement, the Blue Jays’ infielder

TORONTO -- Luke Weaver hasn’t felt like himself on the mound recently. He certainly hasn’t looked like himself. And the 32-year-old right-hander is openly admitting it.

TORONTO – The Yankees announced their 26-man roster for the American League Division Series on Saturday, making just one change from the Wild Card round: adding right-hander Luis Gil and subtracting right-hander Mark Leiter Jr.

TORONTO – The Yankees had the chance they wanted. After five innings of mostly empty at-bats, Aaron Judge came up with the bases loaded and none out, a prime opening to rewrite his postseason story. Instead, Judge swung through a Kevin Gausman splitter for a crucial strikeout. New York settled

TORONTO – The Yankees had done their homework on Trey Yesavage, at least as much as they could. The rookie right-hander was something of a mystery, a live arm they’d never faced, with a unique release and a hellacious splitter that didn’t show up clearly on video. Still, they figured

It’s hard to pick an adjective -- or, in our case, a research nugget -- that best captures the brilliance of Cam Schlittler in his postseason debut.

TORONTO -- The dejected face of Max Fried -- perched on the top railing of the first-base dugout at Rogers Centre by early in the fourth inning on Sunday evening -- said it all. The Yankees’ left-handed ace glumly looked on as the Blue Jays’ offense kept pouring it on.

NEW YORK -- The left-handed swing uncorked by Jazz Chisholm Jr. was so smooth that as the ball began to laser toward the right-field seats at Yankee Stadium, his backswing featured a bat flip toward the first-base dugout in a continuous motion. The Bronx went crazy. The Yankees went crazy.

NEW YORK – The Yankees spent the early portion of Tuesday’s Game 3 of the American League Division Series staring into a winter abyss: down by five runs, the crowd restless, another October disappointment seemingly taking shape in real time. Aaron Judge changed all of that.

NEW YORK -- Paul Goldschmidt made his first start of this American League Division Series in Wednesday night’s Game 4, inserted at first base in place of Ben Rice in the Yankees' season-ending 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

NEW YORK -- Most 24-year-old rookie pitchers wouldn’t get an opportunity to take the mound with his team facing elimination in the postseason. Cam Schlittler? He’s about to do it for the second time in less than a week.

NEW YORK -- Pushing to punch their ticket to the ALCS, the Blue Jays made rookie sensation Trey Yesavage available out of the bullpen in Game 4 of the ALDS on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. He did not end up pitching, but Toronto didn't need him, beating the Yankees in

NEW YORK -- After one of the most improbable comebacks in recent memory electrified a sellout crowd, both the Blue Jays and Yankees will pass through the Bronx on Wednesday night with passports in hand -- but for very different reasons.
