The American League half of the 2021 postseason has completed its divisional round. The Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night to win their ALDS matchup, and now on Tuesday the Houston Astros wrapped up their series against the Chicago White Sox. It’ll be Astros vs. Red Sox in the ALCS. Gross.
For Boston, the clincher was another classic thriller. They took a 5-0 lead but blew it, as the Rays came back to tie it in the 8th. Then in the bottom of the 9th the Sox put runners on base, and Enrique Hernandez delivered a walk-off sac fly.
