So much for being counted out. So much for the Indians losing too many key players to contend in the postseason. So much for it being a short October.
The Indians took down the Boston Red Sox 4-3 Monday night at Fenway Park, completing a three-game sweep to advance to the American League Championship Series. The Indians will face the Toronto Blue Jays for the right to go to the World Series. Game 1 of the ALCS is Friday at Progressive Field.
Coco Crisp, acquired on Aug. 31, only a day before the deadline to be added onto the postseason roster, came away with arguably the biggest hit for the Indians this October thus far.
