MLB Playoffs (American League Divisional Playoff Series): BoSox Destroy Visiting Rays; Tigers Seize Home-Field Advantage Against A's

Both American League best-of-five divisional playoff series opened on Friday.

At Boston:

John Lester pitched 7 2/3 innings of three-hit, three-walk baseball while Jarrod Saltalamacchia drove in three runs as the Boston Red Sox demolished the visiting Tampa Bay Rays 12-2 in the opening contest of their divisional playoff series.

At Oakland:

Max Scherzer struck out eleven batters over seven innings of pitching as the Detroit Tigers scored three runs in the first inning, just enough to edge the Oakland Athletics 3-2 on the road in their divisional playoff series opener.
