For the first time since 2007, the Red Sox are back in the World Series! They were able to reach the World Series with the help of a grand slam off the bat of Shane Victorino in the bottom of the 7th inning of game 6 of the ALCS. Victorino's grand slam proved to be game winning. Victorino crushed an 0-2 curveball from Jose Veras. There was no looking back after that. Craig Breslow pitched the 8th inning, allowing no runs or hits. Then ALCS MVP, Koji Uehara came in to pitch the 9th inning. Just like every other night, Uehara was dominant. Koji Uehara got the save and sent the Boston Red Sox to the World Series. Just like 2004, the Red Sox will be facing the St. Louis Cardinals. In 2004, the Red Sox were able to sweep the Cardinals to capture the title. Hopefully the Red Sox will be able to pull through again. Even Las Vegas is setting the Red Sox as the favorites to win the World Series.
