Rays win, Red Sox lose

The Rays eliminated the Red Sox yesterday in the seventh game of the American League Championship Series.(In my opinion it is still wierd to see Tropicana field full)

The Sox jumped off to an early 1 to nothing lead with a Dustin Pedroia solo home run in the top of the first. John Lester retired his first nine before givng up a run in the bottom of the fourth. Rocco Baldelli single in the fifth to drive in Willy Aybar and give the Rays a 2-1 lead. Willy Aybar homered in the seventh inning to put the Rays up by two as they lead 3-1. In the eigth the Sox had their best chance to comeback, where the Rays used four different pichers, but J.D. Drew struk out with the bases loaded to end the inning.

The Rays won the Game 3 to 1 and now advance to play the Phillies in the World Series
