Through the first three innings of the decisive Game 3 of the AL Wild Card series clash between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, with rookie starter Connelly Early holding his own against a very deep Yankees lineup. He was almost mirroring
what Cam Schlittler was doing opposite him on the mound, but in the fourth inning, the floodgates opened, with the Yankees scoring four runs in quick succession to chase him out of the game in what was eventually a 4-0 win for New York.
