"The Yankees' 24-year-old rookie delivered a dazzling postseason debut, striking out 12 over eight shutout innings to lift New York past Boston, 4-0, in Game 3 of their American League Wild Card series at Yankee Stadium. The win sent the Yankees to the ALDS against the Toronto Blue Jays and marked their first playoff series victory over their rivals since Aaron Boone's walk-off in the 2003 ALCS."
"Schlittler, who started the season in Double-A, leaned on a triple-digit fastball to stifle a Boston lineup that never advanced a runner beyond second. He allowed just five singles, walked none, and exited to a roaring ovation after 107 pitches. David Bednar closed the ninth to seal the series. The decisive rally came in the fourth, when the Yankees turned a pair of singles and some aggressive baserunning into four runs."
