That gave the Yankees a series victory over the Cubs as they were victorious in 2 of 3 games. Austin Wells was behind the plate for the Yankees with ace pitcher Gerrit Cole on the mound. Instead, it was a throwback and an homage to Thurman Munson, the Yankees' late and legendary catcher. Wells paid tribute to Munson with the equipment that he wore against the Cubs. He is remembered today as one of the team's legends, and Wells was not about to let the anniversary of his death go without his tribute.
