The raucous home-field advantage the Yankees have grown accustomed to enjoying over the last two postseasons departed early from the corner of East 161st Street and River Avenue on Monday evening, as Luis Severino was rocked for six runs over three-plus innings in a 16-1 loss to the Red Sox in Game 3 of the American League Division Series.
The rout set a franchise record for runs allowed in a postseason game and represents the largest margin of defeat for a home team in Major League postseason history, snapping the Bombers’ seven-game postseason win streak and placing their backs against the wall.
