Indians 13, Red Sox 6
With the game at a 6-6 stalemate for four innings, the Indians exploded for seven runs in the top of the 11th to give them a 13-6 win in Game 2 of the ALCS. In an emotional return to Boson, former Red Sox Trot Nixon broke the 6-6 tie with a one-run single and after a wild pitch by Javier Lopez allowed another run to score, Ryan Garko Johnny Peralta and Franklin Gutierrez all produced key hits in the seven-run 11th. Perhaps the true hero for Cleveland, however, was reliever Tom Mastny, who retired the Red Sox’s most dangerous hitters in the 10th. Mastny got David Ortiz to ground before getting both Manny Ramirez and Mike Lowell to fly out.
