Tampa Bay Rays @ Boston Red Sox
Tim Wakefield lasted just 2 and two thirds innings after Carlos Pena and Evan Longoria launched back-to-back jacks in the first inning of the Rays, 13-4 victory. Willie Aybar connected in the third, but it was constant hitting and a solid seven and a third innings performance by starter Andy Sonnanstine that has put Tampa Bay a game away from advancing to the World Series. Longoria passed his teammate B.J. Upton to become the youngest player to hit five homeruns in the postseason.
