Beckett (4-1) run a permit and five visits in 6 2-3 rounds and lowered his era to an AL-low 1.69.

Subsequently, he was asked if it felt good to finally end his drought without a victory in Cleveland.

"I believe that I won here in the playoffs," he said, straight-faced. "It is not my first Progressive victory field." These victories (in October) are larger anyway, aren't they? ?

Indeed.

With the Red Sox 3-1 in the series and on the edge of the Elimination of the end, Beckett won 5 of game of the 2007 ALCS, deletion of 11 in eight sleeves dominant beat c.c. Sabathia. Boston rallies to win the next two at home and made the world series.

Travis Buck struck in the ninth for the Indians, who had their four victories is arrested and who have been affected by running in outs four times.

Cleveland, which dropped to 19-5 at home, had a runner thrown to third at the end of the second; Varitek shot potential thieves of base in the second to the third and the fourth; and Matt LaPorta doubled off the coast of the first for the final output in the fifth.

"We did not do a very good job of taking care of our own 27 outs", said Indians Manager Manny Acta. "When you're facing a guy like Beckett, you need to make sure it works for each of these shipments." We gave a few bases. ?

However, the biggest problem for the Indians was Beckett, whose only loss this season came April 5 in Cleveland. Since then, Beckett is 4-0 with five decisions in nine starts.

He beat the Indians without having much of a breaking ball.

"Josh should feel good about himself he earned in this mode," said Varitek. "It comes down to the location of quality with his fastball." We have built many more changeups and knives because he did not have its curve. He threw good real sinker. ?

Transferred, bouncing back a sieve injury 2010 season, was in a control full to waive a two-out walk in the seventh. LaPorta followed with a hard single to Kevin Youkilis, and Cabrera pushed in the third, baseball glove, sliding in just ahead of a tag by Youkilis.

Boston Manager Terry Francona then fired Beckett, who was not very pleased to leave. He launched the grass and threw his gum before resigning in the pond. From there, he looked as Rich Hill struck out Jack Hannahan to end threat of Cleveland.

"It was super," said Beckett.

Papelbon gave Buck one-out homer in the ninth but managed to pacify the Indians, who took the habit of winners close games at home.

"They are difficult at home," said Reds Manager Dusty Baker. "They are playing good baseball.". What they need, they have this series.

The steady shortstop erred on grounder Drew Stubbs' leading to the coast, but more that he, with his first five - hit, multihomer game.

"We know, and we want to just it will keep." The Reds were at 8-4 in the seventh and had two runners with none out, but Chad Durbin was Carrasco, struck out two, and worked the jam. Then, the Indians blew it open in their half on RBI double by Jack Hannahan and Brantley, single of run-scoring of Cabrera and a sacrifice fly by Choo. As was the case throughout the season, Volquez was in an early hole - and this time, the Reds helped dig it. The Indians scored four runs in the first against the, which has a 18.00 ERA, in the opening round, perhaps the main reason, it was lower in all housing 10 starts. Brantley led offshore with an infield single, and Cabrera hit his eighth homer to make it 2-1. Choo followed a double and moved to a grounding before Travis Buck walked.
