At Toronto:
Starting pitcher Ryan Merritt and the bullpen combined on a shutout while Coco Crisp hit a home run as the Cleveland Indians blanked the Toronto Blue Jays 3-0 on the road in game five of the American League Championship Series on Wednesday as the Indians won their first American League pennant since 1997 (their sixth overall) four games to one.
Indians relief pitcher Andrew Miller was named series Most Valuable Player.
Cleveland will host the opening game of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers or Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. The Indians gained home-field advantage due to the American League's victory in July's All-Star Game.
