UNSUNG HERO

Chase Headley not only had three hits, but the designated hitter continued to make things happen. He got a lucky break in Game 4, stumbling on the basepaths and coming up safe on second base as the key play in the Yankees’ four-run rally. In Game 5, Headley singled in the fifth and took second on an Alex Bregman throwing error and scored on Gary Sanchez’s single.

M.I.A.

Jose Altuve went 0-for-4 Wednesday night, marking the first time he has gone hitless in back-to-back games since September 20-21.
