Boston Red Sox
ALDS opener is Wednesday
01:00 AM EDT on Sunday, September 30, 2007
BOSTON — The Red Sox clinched the best record in baseball last night and will have home-field advantage throughout the postseason, including the World Series.
Following the Sox’ 6-4 victory last night over the Minnesota Twins, and with Kansas City beating the Cleveland Indians, 4-3, Boston secured the top spot.
Boston informed the commissioner’s office that it has decided to start the ALDS against the Angels on Wednesday. That means the Sox’ Josh Beckett will start Game One and Curt Schilling will likely get the nod in Game Two on Friday. Both games are at Fenway Park. Because Boston elected to start a day earlier, it’s possible Beckett could pitch Game Four (if necessary) on Monday in Anaheim.
Times are still to be determined.
