Red Sox - Yankees Tidbits

Each team used 7 relievers in Game 1 of the series and then 6 more in Game 2. Boston's bullpen logged 12 1/3 innings and gave up 23 hits and 21 runs while walking 10. New York's bullpen wasn't much better as they logged 16 1/3 innings while allowing 11 runs on 25 hits.

*In Boston's Mike Shawaryn's first seven appearances, he only allowed four runs. He gave up eight runs in 1 1/3 innings in the opener.

*There were five different innings in which a team scored at least six runs in the series and two additional innings when a team scored at least four.

*DJ LeMahieu tallied seven hits in the two-game series raising his league leading average from .336 to .345.

*Edwin Encarnacion struck out five times in a row in the first game of the series after doubling in the first inning. He finished the series 1 for 10.

*Each team saw every starter except one get a hit in each game:

Game 1 Boston - Andrew Benintendi 0/3
Game 2 New York - Edwin Encarnacion 0/4
Game 2 Boston - Michael Chavis 0/5

*Adam Ottavino (1 2/3 IP), Zack Britton (1 IP) and Aroldis Chapman (2 IP) each logged a pair of scoreless appearances for the Yankees. Colten Brewer (1 2/3 IP) was the only pitcher to log a pair of scoreless outings for Boston.

*Stephen Tarpley's start in Game 2 was the first start of his Major League career. His first 20 appearances had all come out of the bullpen. Tarpley surrendered three homers in his one inning of work.
