THE BOSTON GLOBE (RED SOX DYNASTY REPORT)

BOSTON, MA - The ALDS is right around the corner and the Red Sox have clinched home field advantage, but that wouldn't stop Boston from doing their best to beat the visiting Yankees. New York been through a horrible season, clinching DFL in the AL East and another year of Boston playing in October. Lester would go toe-to-toe with Masahiro Tanaka, a fitting end to his regular season.

Tanaka and Lester would trade scoreless innings in the 1st, and then the Red Sox got to NY's ace and started the avalanche. David Ross started the scoring the the 2nd with a 2R single that brought in Pedroia and Napoli from 2nd and 3rd, they were at 2nd and 3rd courtesy of a Jeter throwing error to 1st. Another run in the 3rd made it 3-0, and things only got worse.

Beltran and Jeter did not play well at all

The 4th inning was host to a Grady Sizemore 2R inside-the-park HR after Carlos Beltran missed a line drive while diving, letting the ball bounce around in the RF corner. Bogaerts followed things up with a 2R-HR to bring in Jackie Bradley Jr. and make it 7-0 and end Tanaka's day after only 3.1IP.

Victorino and Napoli added solo HR's in the 5th and 7th, and Bradley Jr. added an RBI single after Jeter booted a grounder to cap off his terrible day. Lester left the game after 6 shutout innings, 2H, 3BB, and 11K to finish off his dream season. The Yankees rescued themselves from being shut out with a 2R double off Brandon Workman in the 8th, but that was it for the day.
