Box Score of the Week (Postseason edition)

Game 7 of the 1957 World Series - Milwaukee Braves at New York Yankees.

----------------------------------

In the 2015 AL Wildcard game, Houston Astros pitcher Dallas Keuchel pitched six scoreless innings against the New York Yankees. The next time Keuchel faced the Yanks in the postseason was last week in ALCS Game 1 when he blanked them over seven innings. Keuchel is the first starting pitcher to have consecutive scoreless outings against the Yankees in the postseason since Lew Burdette of the Milwaukee Braves turned that trick in the 1957 World Series. The game featured this week was the second time in three days that Burdette tossed a complete game shutout against the Yanks.
