"Big Papi" David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez assisted Curt Schilling's masterful pitching with back-to-back homeruns in the fourth inning to give the Boston Red Sox a three-game sweep of the Anaheim Angles. A seven-run eighth inning sealed the deal for the Sox, who have won nine straight playoff games over Anaheim. David Ortiz and Mike Lowell were the only Sox with more than one hit, but everyone in the line-up produced runs for the resounding victory. Ortiz scored two runs but it was Coco Crisp who batted in two runs, a curious reversal of form for the powerful Sox. Now Boston must await the outcome of the Yankees-Cleveland series. The American League Playoff Series will begin on Friday. Last night the Yankees staved off elimination with a come-from-behind victory over Cleveland, 8-4. Alex Rodriguez awoke from a post-season slump and went two for four, and former Red Sox Johnny Damon hit a three-run home run to push the Yanks ahead for good. Cleveland leads the best-of-five series 2-1.
