KANSAS CITY, Mo. – On the one-month (and three days) anniversary of Luke Weaver's admitted out-of-body-experience first career save, the right-hander recorded the five biggest outs of the New York Yankees' season.

Now, Gerrit Cole will try to send the Yankees to the AL Championship Series — against either Cleveland or Detroit — with a win in Thursday night's Game 4 here, against Michael Wacha.
