A rookie's first October homer sweeps the mighty Yankees out of the playoffs

Tampa Bay rookie Victor Mesa Jr. crushed a tiebreaking two-run homer — his first career postseason home run — in the sixth inning at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night, lifting the Rays to a 4-3 win and a three-game ALDS sweep of the Yankees, the first division-series sweep in Yankees history. The Yankees' last gasp was overturned: Anthony Volpe's would-be tying homer was ruled fan interference and became an RBI double. The Rays advance to the AL Championship Series for only the third time in franchise history.
