Red Sox survive Yanks' late rally to reach ALCS

NEW YORK -- Boston Red Sox fans don't have any fingernails left after a stomach-churning bottom of the ninth, but their team is moving on the American League Championship Series.

The winningest team in Red Sox franchise history held on to beat the New York Yankees 4-3 to clinch the Division Series. They survived a two-run rally by the Yankees in the final inning, including a final-out instant review play at first base that held off the celebration in the middle of the diamond until the out call at first base on Gleyber Torres' slow roller could be confirmed.
