Boston Red Sox Win ALCS, Go To World Series

FENWAY, MA — David Price recorded his first postseason win as a starter, J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers hit home runs, and the Red Sox punched their ticket to the World Series with a 4-1 win over the Astros in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series in Houston Thursday night.

There are a lot of happy - and perhaps tired - fans this morning after waiting up until almost midnight to watch Craig Kimbrel record a mostly uneventful save.

Jackie Bradley Jr., who knocked in nine two-out runs with some of the most pivotal hits of the series, won ALCS MVP. He hit a bases-loaded double in Game 1, a grand slam in Game 3, and a two-run home run in Game 4.

The Red Sox await the winner of the NLCS between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers. One of those two teams will be at Fenway Park for Game 1 of the World Series Tuesday.
