IN-GAME NOTE: Back-to-Back-to-Back

The three consecutive homers by the Red Sox in the top of the sixth is something that has never been done in the almost 40-year history of the LCS. In fact, it's been done just one other time in the history of post-season baseball.
Coincidentally, that also happened against Cleveland. In Game 1 of the 1997 ALDS, the Yankees hit three in a row, from the bats of Tim Raines, Derek Jeter and Paul O'Neil.
For what it's worth, the Yankees went on to lose that post-season series.
