BOSTON: So much for being counted out. So much for the Indians losing too many key players to contend in the postseason.
So much for it being a short October.
The Indians took down the Boston Red Sox 4-3 Monday night at Fenway Park to complete a three-game sweep to advance to the American League Championship Series. The Indians will face the Toronto Blue Jays for the right to go to the World Series. Game 1 of the ALCS is Friday at Progressive Field.
Closer Cody Allen survived a shaky ninth, retiring Travis Shaw on a flyout to right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall with runners on first and second to end it.
