Schlittler, who debuted in the majors July 9, grew up a Red Sox fan in Walpole, Massachusetts — but has said several times he wanted to play for the Yankees. Schlittler struck out two more than any other Yankees pitcher had in his postseason debut, allowing just five singles and walking none. Schlittler threw 75 of 107 pitches for strikes, starting 22 of 29 batters with strikes and topping out at 100.8 mph. David Bednar worked around a leadoff walk in the ninth as the Red Sox failed to advance a runner past second. The Red Sox cost themselves in the fourth with a defense that committed a big league-high 116 errors during the regular season.
