All series long, Rays pitchers could not find ways to get Enrique Hernández out. Even when they finally did, it proved to be the end of Tampa Bay's season.
Hernández hit a walk-off sacrifice fly in Tuesday's Game 4 of the ALDS, lifting the Red Sox to a 6-5 win and a spot in the ALCS. It was Hernández's sixth RBI of the series, capping a 9-for-20 performance in which he spearheaded Boston's high-powered offense.
The Red Sox took a 5-0 lead in the third on four consecutive two-out hits against Rays pitcher Shane McClanahan. Boston broke the scoreless tie on a three-run home run by third baseman Rafael Devers, who crushed the first pitch of the at-bat to straightaway center field.
