Matsuzaka pitched 5 1/3 solid innings, and together the three scored and drove in nine runs in Boston's 10-5 victory, reports the Boston Herald.http://www.newser.com/story/10436/sox-1-away-from-series-sweep.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 28 Oct 2007 2:51:26 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/10009/pedroia-powers-sox-into-series.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe smallest guy on the field struck the biggest blows last night as the Red Sox turned a tense ALCS Game 7 into a late-inning laugher. With the Sox leading the Indians 3-2, rookie second baseman Dustin Pedroia hit a 2-run HR in the 7th inning, then a bases-loaded double in the 8th, and Boston cruised into the World Series with an 11-2 win, the team's third straight victory after trailing the series 3-1.http://www.newser.com/story/10009/pedroia-powers-sox-into-series.html?refid=rss_all_defaultMon, 22 Oct 2007 2:38:12 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/9980/cleveland-pitcher-bought-hgh.html?refid=rss_all_defaultPaul Byrd, the pitcher who's been critical in the Cleveland Indians' successful playoff run this season, bought almost $25,000 worth of human growth hormone between 2002 and 2005, the San Francisco Chronicle learned today. Byrd admitted taking HGH, but told Fox Sports he was using it legally with a prescription. The Chronicle report, however, says two of Byrd’s prescriptions came from a dentist whose license was suspended in 2003 for fraud.http://www.newser.com/story/9980/cleveland-pitcher-bought-hgh.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 21 Oct 2007 14:49:51 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/9955/drew-slams-sox-past-indians.html?refid=rss_all_defaultCurt Schilling pitched seven strong innings last night and the Boston offense came through in a big way to launch the Red Sox over the Indians, 12-2, and force Game 7 of the ALCS, reports the Boston Herald . J.D. Drew set the tone in the first with a two-out grand slam off Cleveland ace Fausto Carmona.http://www.newser.com/story/9955/drew-slams-sox-past-indians.html?refid=rss_all_defaultSun, 21 Oct 2007 2:34:43 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/9854/beckett-is-bostons-life-support.html?refid=rss_all_defaultIt  was do or die for the Red Sox last night, and this time they did. Josh Beckett posted 11 strikeouts and one walk in eight powerful innings, and Kevin Youkilis led a surging Boston offense with a triple and homer, reports the Providence Journal. The 7-1 win keeps the Sox alive in the series, which the Indians lead 3-2.http://www.newser.com/story/9854/beckett-is-bostons-life-support.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 19 Oct 2007 7:57:50 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/9645/indians-poised-to-eliminate-sox.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe Cleveland Indians moved to within one game of the World Series last night with a 7-3 takedown of the Red Sox, reports the AP. Cleveland's runs came in a breakout fifth inning against knuckleballer Tim Wakefield and reliever Manny Delcarmen. Despite making postseason history two innings later, the Red Sox couldn't avoid falling into a 3-1 series hole.http://www.newser.com/story/9645/indians-poised-to-eliminate-sox.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 19 Oct 2007 7:57:50 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/9577/indians-roll-dice-for-series-lead.html?refid=rss_all_defaultDaisuke Matsuzaka's second postseason outing for Boston last night went much like his first: he gave up four runs on six hits in 4 2/3 innings. Unlike his last appearance, Matsuzaka got the loss, as Cleveland's Jake Westbrook reigned in the Red Sox for a 4-2 defeat. The Indians now have a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series, reports the Providence Journal.http://www.newser.com/story/9577/indians-roll-dice-for-series-lead.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 19 Oct 2007 7:57:50 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/9583/rockies-sweep-to-world-series.html?refid=rss_all_defaultApparently having forgotten how to lose a game, the Colorado Rockies completed their sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks last night with a 6-4 win. The team that was only four games above .500 a month ago is now headed to its first World Series after going 21-1 so far to end a Cinderella season, reports the Rocky Mountain News.http://www.newser.com/story/9583/rockies-sweep-to-world-series.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 19 Oct 2007 7:57:19 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/9508/d-backs-cant-stop-streaking-rockies.html?refid=rss_all_defaultThe freight train that is the Rockies didn't lose any steam last night in Colorado, taking the third NLCS game 4-1 to put the Arizona Diamondbacks on the verge of extinction. Only one team has come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a championship series, but the Diamondbacks are determined to "defy history," Justin Upton told the Arizona Republic.http://www.newser.com/story/9508/d-backs-cant-stop-streaking-rockies.html?refid=rss_all_defaultFri, 19 Oct 2007 7:57:08 CDT
