'Rick Porcello, Red Sox staggered by Indians in Game 1' -Boston Globe Friday morning headline
CLEVELAND, OH — The Indians are one game closer to making it to the Championship Parade scheduled for November 3rd. Last night, the Tribe beat the Red Sox 5-4 at Progressive Field to lead the series 1-0.
Trailing 2-1 in the third inning, Tribe lumber woke up and belted three homers off of Sox pitcher Rick Porcello. Boston never fully recovered after that. In fact, the Boston Globe's headline this morning read:
'Rick Porcello, Red Sox staggered by Indians in Game 1'

Being the first divisional playoff series in Cleveland since 2007, the atmosphere at Progressive Field was electric. Social media was electric also with the Indians' hashtags #RallyTogether and #WINDIANS still trending.
Game Two of the ALDS has a start time of 4:38 p.m. tonight, but the unusual start time should accommodate those who plan to head out to high school football games tonight.
