Rocktober continues

Baseball Update:
Monday's Recap
Red Sox 2, Indians 4
The Indians put together a techinically solid effort including three triple plays, a six and two thirds almost dominating outting by Jake Westbrook and a homerun by Kenny Lofton. Add the two runs scored in the fifth and it was easy to see why the Indians are leading the series right now.
Indians lead 2-1

Diamondbacks 4, Rockies 6
A six run fourth inning which included a three run homerun by NLCS MVP Matt Holliday broke the game wide open for the Rockies, but a three run dinger by Chris Snyder in the eighth made the game a thriller. Like they've done for the past 22 games, the Rockies put the hammer down and got themselves the franchise's firs ticket to the World Series.
Rockies win series 4-0
