Ryan McMahon's acrobatic catch in the dugout helped the Yankees beat the Red Sox 4-0, advancing to the Division Series.

In Game 3 of the 2025 AL Wild Card Series, Yankees third baseman Ryan McMahon made a dramatic, head-over-heels catch into the Red Sox dugout to secure the second out in the eighth inning, helping New York clinch a 4-0 victory. Racing after a foul popup by Jarren Duran, McMahon collided with the railing, flipped over, and landed in the opposing dugout before recovering and returning to the field with the ball. The play, praised for its athleticism and timing, drew comparisons to Derek Jeter’s famous catch and highlighted McMahon’s defensive value despite a .208 batting average in 54 games. The Yankees advanced to face Toronto in the Division Series, with rookie pitcher Cam Schlittler striking out 12 in a dominant performance.
