Yankees manager Aaron Boone waved the white flag in the ninth inning against the Red Sox on Monday night, sending catcher Austin Romine to the mound to get the final three outs in New York's 16-1 Game 3 defeat.
Romine quickly recorded two outs, but suffered the same fate as the rest of the Yankees' staff while facing second baseman Brock Holt. The seven-year veteran allowed a two-run homer, giving Holt the first cycle in playoff history.
Romine's effort wasn't the worst of the night for New York, though, as starting pitcher Luis Severino surrendered seven earned runs.
