We didn’t get a fifth game in this year’s ALDS, but the ninth inning of Game 4 between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees provided plenty enough drama for all. Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel did his best Jose Valverde impression, allowing a pair of runs before closing out a 4-3 win by the skin of his teeth. The final play went to review, but was upheld, and the Red Sox moved on to the ALCS.
Now, the MLB Championship Series field is set. The Red Sox will take on Justin Verlander and the Houston Astros for the AL pennant, while the Milwaukee Brewers face the Los Angeles Dodgers for National League supremacy.
