NEW YORK — On a night when Luis Severino allowed six runs and recorded nine outs; when manager Aaron Boone was booed by his home crowd; when the Yankees managed no extra-base hits off a starter in seven frames, for the fifth time all season; when by the eighth inning New York fans did not even bother to drown out the "LET’S GO RED SOX" chant; when the Yankees authored their worst postseason defeat—16-1—in franchise history; no one had a more brutal four hours than first-base umpire Ángel Hernández.
Hernández made an unprecedented three calls that were overturned by replay, plus one that was upheld on review.
