NEW YORK – The Yankees were still celebrating their victory over the Red Sox late on Wednesday night, with most of the clubhouse buzzing about Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s decisive eighth-inning dash .

But Carlos Rodón was already thinking ahead to Thursday’s Game 3 of the American League Wild Card Series, focused on what it would mean for Cam Schlittler ’s young career.

“It's going to be really good for him,” Rodón said. “He needs to experience this. I am looking forward to seeing him dominate tomorrow.”

Rodón certainly enjoyed the show, as did the rest of his Yankees teammates. Schlittler, a 24-year-old flamethrower from Walpole, Mass., didn’t make his Major League debut until July 9, but he appeared built for the October stage.
