The game was the highest-rated Wild Card game, ever , pulling a record 5.8 overnight rating on Walt Disney-owned ESPN. That eclipses the previous high of 5.7 set by both the American League and National League Wild Card Games in 2015.

That 5.8 rating was the highest-rated MLB game for ESPN dating back 13 years to 2003.

The game peaked with a solid 7.1 overnight rating from 11-11:15 p.m. ET.

Good news for baseball. A lot of people tuned in to watch a really great game.

I haven't watched a baseball game in probably 5 years and watched most of it. Really good game.

I haven't watched a MLB game all year for more than an inning, but I caught a lot of this one for some reason.

Maybe a slight backlash from the NFL nonsense this year?
