Indians Sweep Red Sox To Reach ALCS

The Cleveland Indians are on their way to the American League Championship Series.  The Indians held off the Red Sox 4-3 in Boston to complete a three-game sweep of their AL Division Series.  

Tyler Naquin singled in two runs in the fourth and Coco Crisp added a two-run homer in the sixth to stake the Tribe to a 4-1 lead.  Josh Tomlin pitched five-plus innings of two-run ball to get the win and Cody Allen held on in the ninth to notch his second save.  Clay Buchholz gave up two runs in four frames to take the loss.  Andrew Benintendi, David Ortiz and Hanley Ramirez all drove in runs for the Red Sox in defeat.  Cleveland will host the Toronto Blue Jays in Game One of the ALCS on Friday night at Progressive Field.
