🚨 PITCHERGAMI 🚨
Chris Sale just threw a line that has NEVER happened in MLB history:
6.1 IP | 4 H | 3 ER | 1 BB | 9 K
PHI @ ATL
That's the 413th Pitchergami of 2026 and 1 of 83,638+ unique lines on record.
This is Austin Riley’s third career go-ahead homer in the 8th inning or later in the postseason
That’s tied for the most in postseason history, with:
Troy Glaus
Bernie Williams
Jose Altuve
Freddie Freeman
Pete Crow-Armstrong is the fourth player in MLB history with a leadoff home run in the next game after hitting 3+ homers in a game, joining:
9/4/24 Kyle Schwarber
9/6/16 Brian Dozier
6/1/16 Mookie Betts
