NEW YORK (AP) — Rookie right-hander Cam Schlittler struck out 12 in eight dominant innings and the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 4-0 on Thursday night to win their AL Wild Card Series in a deciding third game.
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.
David Bednar worked around a leadoff walk in the ninth as the Red Sox failed to advance a runner past second base.
The Red Sox cost themselves in the fourth with a defense that committed a big league-high 116 errors during the regular season.
