A night after winning just their second postseason game in 20 tries, the Red Sox made it two in a row in record style - shocking the Cleveland Indians 23-7 on Sunday night to force a deciding fifth game in their first-round AL playoff series.
John Valentin had two homers, a double and seven RBIs as Boston scored the most runs ever in a postseason game, breaking the record set when Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio led the Yankees to an 18-4 victory over the New York Giants in Game 2 of the 1936 World Series.
Cleveland has not won the World Series since 1948.
