They are looking to become the 10th Red Sox squad to top 95 wins...in the last 35 years beginning in 1979, only the 2004 (98) and 2007 (96) teams have done it. MORE TO CLINCH: The Red Sox are 1.0 game up on the A s (94-64) for the best record in baseball and are 3.0 games ahead of the Tigers...A Sox win tonight combined with a Tigers loss at Minnesota would guarantee the Red Sox home field advantage in the ALDS. Boston ended its regular season home slate at (.654), securing the best such mark in the AL this year. AL EAST CHAMPS: Boston secured the AL East Championship for the 1st time since 2007 with a win on Friday night... It is the Sox 2nd division title in 18 years from and their 7th AL East title since the start of divisional play in 1969: 1975, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1995, 2007, and now This is Boston s 15th overall 1st-place finish in 113 AL seasons, including 8 prior to the divisional era: 1903, 1904, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918, 1946, and OCTOBER BASEBALL: With Thursday night s win, Boston became the 1st AL team to clinch a postseason berth...it is the club s 21st overall playoff appearance, 1st since RED SOX POSTSEASON APPEARANCES YEAR RESULT MANAGER YEAR RESULT MANAGER 1903 WS Jimmy Collins 1995 ALDS Kevin Kennedy 1912 WS Jake Stahl 1998 ALDS Jimy Williams 1915 WS Bill Carrigan 1999 ALCS Jimy Williams 1916 WS Bill Carrigan 2003 ALCS Grady Little 1918 WS Ed Barrow 2004 WS Terry Francona 1946 WS Joe Cronin 2005 ALDS Terry Francona 1967 WS Dick Williams 2007 WS Terry Francona 1975 WS Darrell Johnson 2008 ALCS Terry Francona 1986 WS John McNamara 2009 ALDS Terry Francona 1988 ALCS McNamara/Morgan John Farrell 1990 ALCS Joe Morgan This marks Boston s 7th postseason appearance in 11 years since In that time, only STL (7 including 2013) and NYY (9) have as many postseason years. With last year s 5th-place finish, Boston has gone worst-to-first for the 1st time in franchise history... Boston s.426 win percentage in 2012 (69-93) marks the club s lowest ever prior to a postseason campaign. SKIPPER SUCCESS: John Farrell is just the 7th manager to lead the Red Sox to the postseason in his 1st year at the helm, joining Jake Stahl (1912), Ed Barrow (1918), Dick Williams (1967), Joe Morgan (1988), Kevin Kennedy (1995), and Terry Francona (2004)...Stahl, Barrow, and Francona went on to win the World Series that year. TURN IT AROUND: The Red Sox have won 26 more games than last year (69-93), marking the club s largest increase in wins -- outside of strike-shortened seasons in 1981 and since the 1st post-world War II team in 1946 (104-50) won 33 more games than 1945 (71-83).

NATIONAL SUCCESS: Boston enters its final Interleague game of the year with a 13-6 (.684) record vs. the NL this year, which ranks 2nd in the AL to Detroit (.706, 12-5) and trails only 2006 (16-2) for the club mark in Interleague wins. The Sox are in their past 11 sets vs. the NL since 6/11/12, and are 22-9 since in Interleague action since that stretch began...the Sox have the best Interleague mark in baseball since 2003 (.648, ).

INTERLEAGUE INTRIGUE: Dustin Pedroia s career.338 Interleague AVG tops actives and is 4th all-time (min. 300 PA)...He is 14-for-34 (.412) in 8 regular season games vs. COL, including 7-for-16 (.438) with 3 homers at Coors Field.

SERIES TALK: Boston leads MLB with 33 series victories, 2 more than the next-highest total in MLB (STL, 31)...The club s 33 series wins match the 2nd most in team singleseason history (also 1948, 1949, and 2007)...The only Red Sox team with more series victories was the 1946 club (37). IN THE STANDINGS: The Sox are in 1st place in the AL East, 6.5 games ahead of the Rays...Boston will end the season with a total of 158 days in 1st place...the Sox retook the division for good on 8/25 and will have held the top spot 57 of the season s last 60 days starting 7/31.

THE MARGINS: Last night s 8-3 loss was Boston s 1st by more than 3 runs since 8/16 (10-3 vs. NYY)...The Sox went 33 games between those blowout losses, which was the club s longest such streak since a 36-game stretch in DAYS: The Sox are an MLB-high 32 games over.500, 1 shy of their 2013 high-water mark...prior to this season, Boston had not been more than 30 games over.500 since the 2004 team topped out at 35 over the mark. HARD TO HIT: The Sox staff owns the AL s best opponent AVG since the All-Star break at.242, including a.228 mark in September that ranks 2nd among AL clubs. ON THE VERGE: With 29 homers and 98 RBI, David Ortiz is just shy of his 1st 30-HR/100-RBI season since It would be the 7th of his career, all since joining the Sox in 2003, which would tie Ted Williams for the club record. He would be MLB s only left-handed hitter to reach those marks 7 times in the 11 years from STOLEN MOMENTS: The Red Sox lead MLB with an 86.4% stolen base percentage (121-for-140)...That would be the best mark by an AL team since caught stealing has been tracked ( , in the AL)...Boston s 121 SB are 5 shy of the team s single-season record in the live ball era (since 1920), established in 2009 (126).
