The Red Sox should do whatever it takes to avoid Cam Schlittler next postseason, and beyond.
The Massachusetts native - and currently the biggest villain in the Boston-New York rivalry - showed in Game 1 why he's one of the most dominant starting pitchers in the majors, and the heavy favorite to win the AL Cy Young award.
Schlittler tossed 6 1/3 shutout innings Tuesday, allowing just two hits and a walk to go with 10 strikeouts. He got a ridiculous 24 whiffs while surrendering just two hard-hit balls (both groundouts). His 117 pitches were the most by a Yankees starter in a playoff game since 2012. In two postseason starts against the Red Sox, Schlittler's thrown 14 1/3 shutout innings while striking out 22.
