NEW YORK -- One way to silence 49,000-plus Yankee fans at Yankee Stadium is to pile on the runs against a staff ace with a blazing fastball.
Another is to send out your own right-hander with a blazing fastball and have him shut down the high-power Yankees offense that set a single-season record for home runs.
Nathan Eovaldi gave the Red Sox their best postseason start since Jon Lester in Game 5 of the 2013 World Series, allowing just one run in seven innings with an efficient 97 pitches as the Red Sox embarrassed the Yankees 16-1 to take a 2 games to 1 in lead in the best-of-five American League Division Series.
