Red Sox defeat Rays in Game 4 to advance to the ALCS

One year after having one of the worst records in baseball, the Red Sox are heading on to the ALCS.

Boston defeated Tampa Bay 6-5 in Game 4 on Monday, winning the series 3-1 to advance.

Following five straight runs from the Rays to tie the game at 5-5, the Red Sox got another walk-off win. A single by Christian Vazquez got the inning started and he moved to second on Christian Arroyo’s sacrifice fly. Travis Shaw, pinch-hitting for Bobby Dalbec, reached first when Rays first baseman Ji-Mang Choi didn’t cleanly field a throw, advancing Vazquez to third.
