The Boston Red Sox swept the 100-win Angels to the side in four games, dismissing their best-in-baseball regular season as yesterday’s news.
Jason Bay scored with a headfirst slide on Jed Lowrie’s two-out single in the ninth inning and the defending World Series champions took advantage of a squeeze, beating Los Angeles 3-2 Monday night to win their first-round playoff series in four games.
The Boston Red Sox, who won it all in 2004, will have a chance at a third title in five years if it can get past the Rays in the best-of-seven AL championship series that starts Friday night at Tampa Bay.
