IN BRIEF
BOSTON — With the help of pitcher Zach Jackson, Cleveland forced Boston to wait at least one more day to clinch their fifth postseason trip in six years.
The Seneca Valley graduate pitched six solid innings and the Indians beat Josh Beckett and the Red Sox 4-3 Monday night.
Jackson (1-3) gave up two runs on six hits over the six innings, striking out four and walking four to get the victory.
Beckett (12-10), however, struggled with his control, hitting a career-worst three batters, throwing a wild pitch and walking in a run.
Boston had a chance to win in the ninth when Kevin Youkilis singled with two outs and took third on Jason Bay's double. But Jed Lowrie struck out on three pitches against Jensen Lewis, who got his 12th save in 13 opportunities.
The Red Sox needed a win to eliminate the New York Yankees and to lock up a postseason berth in pursuit of their second straight World Series title and third in five years.
