The Boston Red Sox knew champagne was on ice in the clubhouse Saturday afternoon, and the team made sure those bottles finally got popped.
With a 6-3 win over the Houston Astros, the Red Sox clinched the American League East, their ninth division title in franchise history.
Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel recorded the final out of the contest, which sent Fenway Park into a frenzy.
