The Yankees’ 10-1 hammering of the Angels in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series delivered the largest audience of the postseason, as 10.3 million viewers tuned in to Fox Tuesday night.

Compared to last year’s NLCS Game 4, the Yankees-Angels blowout was up 34 percent in total viewers, per Nielsen live-plus-same-day ratings data.

The Yankees took a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series, drawing a 19.8/30 in New York and a 10.8/20 in the Los Angeles market.

To date, Fox’ 2009 ALCS coverage is averaging 8.8 million viewers, up 22 percent versus the first four games of last year’s Phillies/Dodgers NLCS (7.2 million). The Yankees will look to secure their 40th American League pennant in Anaheim Thursday night; Fox’ coverage of Game 5 of the ALCS begins at 7:57 p.m. EDT.
