Red Sox rock Sabathia, take game one

Cleveland Indians' Cy Young candidate C.C. Sabathia came into the American League Championship Series recovering from a poor outing way back in game one of the Division Series against the New York Yankees in which he walked six batters in five innings. It can't get much worse than six free passes, right? It certainly can, as the 290-pound left-hander was chased early by the Boston Red Sox after surrendering eight runs, walking five and allowing seven hits, in a 10-3 loss in game one of the ALCS on Friday night.

Travis Hafner homered in the top half of the first inning for Cleveland, putting the Indians out in front 1-0. However, Boston came right back in the bottom half of the frame, stringing together three consecutive hits capped off by an RBI-single by Manny Ramirez to tie the score.

The Red Sox then blew things open in the third, scoring four runs off two walks, one with the bases loaded, a hit-by-pitch, and two doubles. Julio Lugo doubled to lead off the inning, and after Dustin Pedroia laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Lugo over to second, Sabathia walked Kevin Youkilis and then hit David Ortiz to load the bases. He then proceeded to walk Ramirez, bringing in Lugo to give Boston a 2-1 lead. Mike Lowell followed with a two-run ground-rule double, and Jason Varitek added an RBI-ground-out to extend Boston's lead to 5-1.

The Red Sox would never look back, as staff ace Josh Beckett pitched six magnificent innings, striking out seven and allowing only two runs on four hits. Beckett is now 2-0 with a 1.20 ERA this postseason and has only allowed two runs in his past three postseason starts dating back to 2003 when he was part of the Florida Marlins' world championship team. He has also not walked a batter thus far in the playoffs.

Bobby Kielty knocked in two more runs with a bases-loaded single in the fifth and then scored on a double by Varitek later that inning to give Boston an 8-1 advantage. Ramirez then drew his second bases-loaded walk of the night in the sixth, and Lowell hit a sacrifice fly, extending Boston's lead to 10-1.

Rockies top Phillies, take 1-0 series edge

The Colorado Rockies simply cannot lose. After winning 14 of their final 15 games to close out the season and take the National League Wild Card, Colorado beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-2 in game one of their National League Division Series match-up.

Jeff Francis struck out eight in six innings for the Rockies, his only blemishes coming off back-to-back home runs by Aaron Rowand and Pat Burrell in the fifth inning. Colorado did most of their damage in the second, scoring three runs on three hits and three walks, one to Troy Tulowitzki with the bases loaded. Todd Helton led off the frame with a triple and then scored on Garrett Atkins' double. Yorvit Torrealba then knocked in a run with an RBI-single, and Tulowitzki drew a bases-loaded walk to bring yet another run across the plate in what turned out to be a 40-pitch inning for Philadelphia ace Cole Hamels. Hamels was lucky he only allowed three runs that inning, though, as Matt Holliday hit a blast that went just foul with the bases full in that same frame.

Rowand and Burrell led off the bottom of the fifth with homers to make it a 3-2 game, but Francis, who struck out the first four Phillies of the game, then settled down, retiring six of the next eight batters. LaTroy Hawkins entered the game in the seventh and, after walking Greg Dobbs with one out, got Carlos Ruiz to ground into an inning-ending double-play.

Tom Gordon relieved Hamels with two outs in the seventh and retired Kaz Matsui, but then gave up a home run to Holliday in the eighth, giving the Rockies a 4-2 advantage that they would keep the rest of the afternoon. Manuel Corpas closed the door for Colorado with a 1-2-3 ninth.

The 1-2-3-4 hitters should shoulder much of the blame for putting Philadelphia in an 0-1 hole in this best-of-five series, as they combined to go 0-for-15 with nine strikeouts. Chase Utley struck out four times, three against Francis. Ryan Howard struck out on three occasions, and Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino each went down on strikes once.

Game two of the series is tomorrow at 3 PM ET at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
