CLEVELAND (AP) — Michael Brantley singled in the winning run in the 11th inning, and the Indians beat the Red Sox 5-4.
The loss delayed Boston’s bid for a club-record 106th victory and home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
AL East champion Boston is 105-50 and has matched the team wins record set in 1912.
One Boston win or Houston loss would give the Red Sox home field throughout the postseason and ensure a Division Series matchup against the wild card winner.
