BOSTON, Sept. 23 (UPI) -- Kevin Youkilis hit a two-run homer and Jason Bay a key RBI single Tuesday to carry the Boston Red Sox into a post-season berth with a 5-4 win over Cleveland.
Dustin Pedroia had two hits and the other two RBI for the Red Sox, who earned a spot in the playoffs for the fifth time in the last six seasons. Boston is 2 1/2 games behind leader Tampa Bay in the American League East.
