Yankee playoff games tonight

Boston tacked on runs against New York's bullpen late, and the Yankees could only muster Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton solo homers in the winner-take-all affair. For the full bracket and playoff schedule, click here. Here are three takeaways from Tuesday's Wild Card Game. It was far and away the worst start he's had against his former team.

Eovaldi owns a 2. He typically dominates them. And dominate them Eovaldi did on Tuesday. Manager Alex Cora had a quick hook -- Eovaldi was pulled after only 71 pitches -- though it made sense given his numbers the third time through the order.

In his start 11 days ago, Eovaldi generated only three swings and misses among 59 pitches. His splitter and curveball weren't working that night, but they did on Tuesday, and those 71 pitches included 13 swings and misses, more in line with his For his career, Eovaldi now owns a 1.

He is well on his way to being one of the best big-game pitchers of his generation. Cole struggled to finish out the regular season and he struggled at Fenway Park this year in general, and the Wild Card Game was more of the same. The Red Sox ambushed Cole for two home runs and three runs total in only two innings plus three batters. It is tied for the shortest outing of Cole's career. Bogaerts clubbed a two-run home run in the first and Schwarber hit a solo homer leading off the third.

Between three regular season starts and the Wild Card Game, Cole allowed 15 runs and seven home runs in 18 innings at Fenway Park this year.
