NEW YORK, U.S.A – Twenty years ago, the New York Yankees became the first team in baseball history to surrender a 3-0 lead in the MLB Playoffs.

The dodgers took game three 4-2 last night at yankee stadium in new york.
Chisholm went 0-4 but the entire Yankees lineup has struggled through the series thus far, batting just .186.
