The @Angels paid tribute to Tyler Skaggs by throwing a combined no-hitter against the Mariners in Anaheim. The last time there was a combined no-hitter in the state of California? Orioles-A's in Oakland on July 13, 1991 - the same day Tyler Skaggs was born. #TheHaloWay

Since RBI became official in 1920, only one MLB player has had, over the course of his entire career (same game or not), a game with 10+ RBI a game with 6+ hits a game with 5+ XBH a game with 3+ HR a game with 2+ SB That one player is Shohei Ohtani. He did all of it today.

The Yankees are the first team in MLB postseason history to have the bases loaded with nobody out in the bottom of the 9th but not score a run and lose the game.

In MLB postseason history, only one pitcher has tossed a perfect 8th, a perfect 9th and a perfect 10th in a series-clinching victory. That one pitcher was the @Dodgers' Roki Sasaki yesterday - as a 23-year-old rookie.

This game has now taken longer than the game time of the entire 1939 #WorldSeries. That year, the Yankees swept the Reds in four games that took a combined 7:05.

Jameis Winston threw for 497 yards tonight. The Broncos also had 171 interception return yards against him. The 668 combined passing yards plus interception return yards off of his passes is the most by any QB in a single game in NFL history.

NYC is the first metro area ever to have an MLB team (Yankees) and an NBA team (Knicks) each lose by 15 or more on the same day (regular season or playoffs).
