Overview

• Cam Schlittler, 24, delivered eight scoreless innings with 12 strikeouts, five hits allowed and no walks in his postseason debut.
• His 12 strikeouts set a Yankees rookie postseason record and marked the most by any pitcher in a winner-take-all game with at least 12, per reported tallies.
• Aaron Boone sent Schlittler back out at 100 pitches for the eighth inning, and the right-hander needed only seven more to finish the frame.
• New York broke the game open with four runs in the fourth inning, capitalizing on hits and Red Sox defensive miscues.
• David Bednar handled a scoreless ninth to close the 4-0 win, capping a rise that saw Schlittler earn his roster spot after starting the season off the team.
