Boston holds off New York’s ninth-inning rally to advance to ALCS

Every other divisional series ended before Tuesday, but there was but one lingering and unfinished and it happened to be the Red Sox and Yankees. Game 4 was Tuesday in the Bronx and followed a bloodbath of a Game 3 in the form of a 16-1 Red Sox win.

This one was a bit more competitive at 4-3 (box score) and the Yankees mounted a serious threat in the ninth. And because of that, the Red Sox are in the ALCS where they’ll meet the Astros, and the Yankees are eliminated.
