The Red Sox advanced to the World Series with Saturday night's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

Sox outfielder Shane Victorino powered Boston's victory with a seventh inning grand slam. Sox closer Koji Uehara was named the ALCS most valuable player. Uehara pitched a scoreless ninth in Saturday's clincher, giving him three saves and a victory in the four victories Boston needed to win the AL pennant for the third time in 10 years.

While the players were celebrating on the field, fans outside were jumping and screaming for their Sox.
