Ellsbury burying Angels

Jacoby Ellsbury loves the end of the year. He shined last season in the playoffs, and after a hot streak to conclude September this year, he's looking just as strong this postseason.

Ellsbury made a diving catch in the eigth inning, then collected his third hit in five at bats in the top of the ninth, knocking home Boston's third run in the form of Jed Lowrie. Ellsbury scored Boston's fourth run a short while later off a David Ortiz single.

Jonathan Papelbon is in to close things out in the ninth, and Ellsbury is the player of this game if JP gets the job done.
