Red Sox wins World Series title

DENVER: Overwhelming in every way, the Boston Red Sox swept to its second World Series baseball title in four years as Jon Lester, Mike Lowell & Co. left little room for drama in a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies in Game 4.

This was hardly a repeat from 2004, when the Red Sox ended its 86-year championship drought by beating St. Louis. Boston is a major league bully these days, playing in rarefied air before crowds that demand to win.

At this rate, New England fans might get spoiled. Manager Terry Francona’s team has become a perfect counterpart to coach Bill Belichick’s bruisers on the Patriots.

After rallying from a 3-1 deficit against Cleveland in the AL championship series, the Red Sox won seven straight games and won its seventh World Series crown.

The Rockies, which won a remarkable 21 of 22 games to get this far, was a mere afterthought by the end.

Brad Hawpe homered in the seventh inning and Garrett Atkins hit a two-run shot in the eighth that came too late. — AP
