Red Sox advance by ousting Rays; Tigers' clutch victory forces Game 5 |
For the first time in five years, there will be American League Championship Series baseball in Boston.
And for the second straight year, there will be an AL Division Series Game 5 between the Tigers and A's in Oakland.
Those were the takeaways on the Road to the World Series after another stunning day and night of October baseball on Tuesday.
The Red Sox beat the tough Tampa Bay Rays, 3-1, in Game 4 in St.
Petersburg to close out that series, 3-1, and Boston will begin the ALCS
on its home turf on Saturday.
And the Tigers fought off elimination, toughing out a grueling 8-6
victory over the A's in Game 4 that forced a Thursday finale in Oakland
that will determine who shows up at Fenway Park to meet the Red Sox and
play for the pennant, starting this Saturday on FOX.
Although it was the late game, Boston's win over Tampa Bay on Tuesday gets top billing because it ended with a champagne party.
