October 16, 2013: Red Sox 10 Tigers 2 (Red Sox lead ALCS, 3-1)

The Red Sox beat up on the Tigers and are just one game away from the World Series. The Sox scored in every inning except the 1st and 3rd. Jarrod Saltalamacchia was 4 for 5 with two doubles, and Dustin Pedroia had 3 hits including a double. Jacoby Ellsbury hit his first homer of the playoffs.

Jake Peavy got the win and Koji Uehara pitched the 9th despite the 8-run lead. Miguel Cabrera accounted for both Detroit runs and is having a monster series despite his team being down 3-1. Cabrera is hitting .563 with 6 HR and 10 RBI. 6 HR is actually a record as far as I can tell, some quick research reveals a number of players who have hit 5 HR in a playoff series but none with 6. Cabrera's 8 HR thus far in the playoffs would tie a record held in real life by Barry Bonds (2002), Nelson Cruz (2011) and Carlos Beltran (2004).

Game 5 will feature a rematch of game 1 starters - Clay Buchholz vs. Max Scherzer. The Sox won that one by a run; Scherzer took the loss.
