Angels Rally Off Papelbon In 9th To Sweep Red Sox

Vladimir Guerrero and the Los Angeles Angels shrugged off their postseason failures and swept the Boston Red Sox out of the playoffs.

Guerrero hit a two-out, two-run single off Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth inning and the Angels rallied past Boston 7-6 in Game 3 Sunday, advancing to the AL championship series for the first time since 2005.

Guerrero delivered the biggest hit of his All-Star career, capping a three-run comeback in the ninth and giving the Angels their first postseason sweep in franchise history.
