Rick Porcello celebrates first playoff win, defends Angel Hernandez

Prior to this postseason, Rick Porcello had appeared in 11 playoff games, including four starts.

Porcello's teams lost every one of those games.

That fortune flipped in the ALDS for Porcello, as he picked up first postseason win in the Boston Red Sox's series clincher against the New York Yankees on Tuesday night.

Porcello went five innings and gave up just one earned run, as Boston won 4-3. He also pitched two-thirds of an inning in the Red Sox's Game 1 win at home.

He had appeared in eight playoff games for the Detroit Tigers from 2011-2013.
