Lind powers Jays victory

BOSTON – The Boston Red Sox are back in the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years.

The Red Sox clinched the AL wild-card berth when the Los Angeles Angels beat the Rangers 5-2 on Tuesday night and eliminated Texas from the race. That gave Boston its seventh wild-card berth – more than any other team in the majors.

The Red Sox had long since lost to Toronto – their fifth consecutive loss – and most of the players left Fenway Park to find someplace else to wait for the West Coast game to end. Slugger David Ortiz said he would come back to the clubhouse for the traditional spraying of the champagne.

“Hell, yeah,” he shouted, calling for a clubhouse attendant to give him a pair of goggles. “We worked our way to be in this situation. Even not winning this game tonight, you move into the playoffs so there’s a celebration.”

Adam Lind hit three of Toronto’s six homers to lead the Blue Jays to an 8-7 victory and put Boston’s celebration on hold. The Red Sox scored five times in the eighth inning and put two on with two outs in the ninth before Jason Frasor got Kevin Youkilis looking on a 3-2 pitch to end it.
