The Yankees are calling up top prospect George Lombard Jr., a source tells ESPN.

@JackCurryYES was first on it.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Gunnar Henderson is in the lineup because he has owned Luis Severino. That ownership just continued.

It’s 1-1 in the fourth inning.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes has won the National League Cy Young Award, getting all 30 first-place votes one season after winning Rookie of the Year. Philadelphia's Cristopher Sanchez finished second and Los Angeles’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto was third.

FINAL: Yankees 9, Blue Jays 6

Toronto was 39-0 this year in games it led by five or more runs. After Aaron Judge paced New York’s rousing, season-saving come-from-behind win with a three-run HR off the foul pole, it's 39-1. Tremendous fortitude from Yankees, awful loss for Jays.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Aaron Judge absolutely massacred a 100-mph fastball from Louis Varland high off the left-field foul pole. The Yankees have come all the way back to tie the game, 6-6.

Judge is now hitting .524/.583/.762 this postseason and leads all players with 11 hits. That was his first HR.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Cristopher Sánchez is carving the Dodgers. Through five shutout innings, he has allowed only two hits and gotten 16 swings and misses -- including six from Shohei Ohtani, who has punched out in all three of his at-bats. Sánchez is an ace, plain and simple.

Phillies lead, 3-0.

FINAL: Yankees 4, Red Sox 0

Rookie Cam Schlittler turned in an all-time outing, striking out a dozen and walking none over eight innings, and New York advances to face Toronto in the ALDS starting Saturday.

Boston had two games to finish off the Yankees and just couldn't do it.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Yankees rookie Cam Schlittler's night is over. He went eight shutout, allowed five hits, didn't walk a batter and struck out 12. He is the first pitcher in baseball history to go eight innings, walk none and punch out 12 in a postseason game.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Cam Schlittler is the first rookie to strike out 10 or more in a postseason game since Oct. 12, 1997.

The pitcher that day: Livan Hernandez, who punched out 15 thanks to the worst strike zone in the history of baseball. https://t.co/me6MQUq2uZ

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

That’s why you play Ben Rice.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

The Mets loaded the bases. Pete Alonso hit a 116-mph laser. Javier Sanoja snagged it in left field. And now New York's closer, Edwin Díaz, will pitch the fifth inning with the Mets' season 12 outs from being over.

The Milwaukee Brewers have won 14 straight games after a wild affair in which they tied Cincinnati with two outs in the ninth and got a pinch-hit three-run homer from Andruw Monasterio -- career SLG: .330 -- in the 11th. It ties the sixth-longest MLB winning streak this century.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Since debuting for the Brewers on July 7, Andrew Vaughn has the sixth-highest average in MLB (.347), the sixth-best OPS (1.055) and the second-most RBIs (32).

Doubt the Brewers at your peril. They faced Paul Skenes tonight and are currently up 12-0.

[Jorge Castillo @jorgecastillo]

The Yankees have released Marcus Stroman.

The New York Yankees are acquiring shortstop Jose Caballero from the Tampa Bay Rays, sources tell ESPN.

Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper stood nose to nose with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred during a meeting last week and told him to “get the f--- out of our clubhouse” if he wanted to talk about a salary cap, sources told ESPN. News free and unlocked: https://t.co/DukJC3i8T5
