The 2013 American League Division Series were two best-of-five-game series in Major League Baseball’s (MLB) 2013 postseason to determine the teams that would participate in the 2013 American League Championship Series. The three divisional winners (seeded 1-3 based on record) and a fourth team — the winner of a one-game Wild Card playoff — played in two series. TBS carried most of the games, with some on MLB Network.

These matchups were:

* (1) Boston Red Sox (East Division champions) vs. (5) Tampa Bay Rays (Wild Card Game winner): Red Sox win series, 3–1.
* (2) Oakland Athletics (West Division champions) vs. (3) Detroit Tigers (Central Division champions): Tigers win series, 3–2.

[1]

This was the 2nd time the Rays and Red Sox have faced each other in the postseason. The only other time was the 2008 ALCS which was won by the Rays 4 games to 3.[2]

This was the 4th time the Tigers and the A's have faced each other in the postseason. The Tigers and the A's faced each other in the 1972 ALCS (A's won 3–2), in the 2006 ALCS (Tigers won 4–0) and in the 2012 ALDS (Tigers won 3–2).[3]

The Red Sox went on to defeat the Tigers in the ALCS, then win the 2013 World Series over the National League champion St. Louis Cardinals.

Lackey allowed four runs while coming through in clutch situations to keep the Sox in the lead throughout the game.

Craig Breslow came out of the bullpen to send the Red Sox into the AL championship series for the first time in five years.[16] Breslow relieved Red Sox starter Jake Peavy in the sixth inning and struck out his first four batters.[17] The Rays struck first off of Peavy when Yunel Escobar hit a leadoff double in the sixth, moved to third on a groundout, and scored on David DeJesus's single, but in the seventh, the Red Sox got runners on first and third with two outs off of Jake McGee, who was relieved by Joel Peralta. A wild pitch to Shane Victorino scored a run before Victorino singled to score another. The Red Sox loaded the bases off of Fernando Rodney on two walks and a hit-by-pitch before Dustin Pedroia's sacrifice fly gave them an insurance run. Koji Uehara pitched a perfect bottom half for the save and with the series win, the Red Sox improved to 6–4 all-time in ALDS play; the Rays fell to 1–3.

Prince Fielder grounded into a double play, with Hunter scoring on the play. After a Victor Martínez double, Alex Avila grounded a seeing-eye single to right, which gave Detroit an early 3–0 lead. Max Scherzer struck out 11 and gave up one hit through the first six innings. In the bottom of the seventh, Yoenis Céspedes hit a two-run home run to trim the Tigers lead to 3–2. Joaquín Benoit got Josh Donaldson to pop out to first to end the eighth inning, and he then struck out the side in the ninth to close out the win. A's hitters fanned 16 times off three Tigers pitchers.[18]

WP: Grant Balfour (1–0)   LP: Al Alburquerque (0–1)

Game 2 was a fierce pitching duel between both teams. Oakland Athletics rookie starter Sonny Gray matched Detroit Tigers veteran Justin Verlander with eight shutout innings and nine strikeouts. Verlander was dominant as well, with seven shutout innings and 11 strikeouts. Both teams' bullpens carried the game scoreless into the bottom of the ninth. A's leadoff batter Yoenis Céspedes started the inning with a ground ball single into left field. Seth Smith followed up with a ground ball single into right field, moving Céspedes over to third base. Tigers reliever Al Alburquerque then intentionally walked Josh Reddick to load the bases. With no outs in the bottom of the ninth, Alburquerque was lifted for Rick Porcello. A's catcher Stephen Vogt greeted Porcello with a line-drive single to left field, driving in Céspedes for the walk off win and tying the series at one game apiece.[19]

WP: Jarrod Parker (1–0)   LP: Aníbal Sánchez (0–1)   Sv: Grant Balfour (1)
Home runs:
OAK: Josh Reddick (1), Brandon Moss (1), Seth Smith (1)
DET: None

The A's scored six runs (five earned) off 2013 AL ERA leader Aníbal Sánchez. The first run was unearned, when Yoenis Céspedes hit a sharp grounder to third that Miguel Cabrera mishandled for an error, allowing Coco Crisp to score from second. In the top of the fourth, Josh Reddick led off with a home run. Stephen Vogt followed with a triple, and scored on a sacrifice fly by Crisp, making the score 3–0. The Tigers tied the game off Jarrod Parker in the bottom of the fourth, on an RBI double by Victor Martínez and a two-run single by Jhonny Peralta. This ended a streak of 20 consecutive scoreless innings by A's pitchers. The A's quickly went back on top by three runs in the fifth, on a homer from Brandon Moss and a two-run shot by Seth Smith. In the bottom of the ninth inning, A's pitcher Grant Balfour got into a heated argument with Detroit batter Víctor Martínez. The argument included a profane exchange between Martinez and Balfour, caught by MLB Network's on-field microphones, and caused the benches to empty. No injuries were reported and no ejections were made because of the incident, and Balfour went on to earn the save. Because MLB Network is a cable channel not under FCC purview, no action could be taken against them, though the game announcers apologized for the profanity shortly after.[20]

### Game 4

WP: Max Scherzer (2–0)   LP: Sean Doolittle (0–1)
Home runs:
OAK: Jed Lowrie (1)
DET: Jhonny Peralta (1), Víctor Martínez (1)

The A's took another early lead on the Tigers, when Coco Crisp led off the game with a triple off Doug Fister and scored on a Jed Lowrie single. The A's extended the lead to 3–0 in the top of the fifth, when Lowrie hit a two-run homer to right field. It looked like the Tiger hitters, who had struggled to put up runs all series long, were on their way to another frustrating evening when starter Dan Straily no-hit them through the first four innings. But Prince Fielder led off the bottom of the fifth with a bloop single to left, Victor Martínez grounded a single to right, and Jhonny Peralta followed with a three-run homer to left to tie the game. Tiger manager Jim Leyland went to Game 1 starter Max Scherzer as a reliever in the top of the seventh, and Oakland promptly went up 4–3 when Coco Crisp drove in Stephen Vogt with a single. On a controversial play, the Tigers managed to tie the game in the bottom of the inning, when Victor Martínez hit the ball to the right-center field wall and a fan reached into the field of play and disrupted its trajectory. The call on the field was a home run for Martínez. Umpires reviewed the play because the fan had clearly interfered with the path of the ball, but they let the home run stand after concluding that there was not enough video evidence to determine if right fielder Josh Reddick would have made a leaping catch. Later in the inning, Austin Jackson gave the Tigers a 5–4 lead on a broken-bat RBI single that scored pinch runner Andy Dirks. Scherzer nearly gave the lead back when he loaded the bases with no outs in the top of the eighth, but he struck out Reddick and Vogt before getting pinch hitter Alberto Callaspo on a line out to center. The Tigers got three additional runs in the bottom of the inning, when pinch runner Hernán Pérez scored on a bases-loaded wild pitch by Brett Anderson, and Omar Infante followed with a two-run double to make the score 8–4. The A's made it interesting in the top of the ninth, getting the tying run to the plate after a two-run single by Yoenis Céspedes, but Joaquín Benoit struck out Seth Smith to prevent any further damage.[21]

### Game 5

Home runs:
DET: Miguel Cabrera (1)
OAK: None

Having used Max Scherzer in relief during Game 4, Jim Leyland sent Game 2 starter Justin Verlander to the hill. A's manager Bob Melvin also chose to go with his Game 2 starter, Sonny Gray, who had befuddled the Tigers for eight shutout innings earlier in the series. Gray looked solid again, surrendering only a walk through the first three innings. Torii Hunter got the Tigers' first hit in the fourth, a one-out single up the middle, then Gray made a mistake on an inside fastball to Miguel Cabrera that the slugger hit for a two-run homer to left. It was Cabrera's first extra-base hit of the series and only his second home run since August. The Tigers got a third run with one out in the sixth inning. With runners on first and third, Omar Infante hit a potential inning-ending double play ball to third off reliever Dan Otero, but Josh Donaldson bounced his throw to second baseman Alberto Callaspo. Callaspo corralled the ball for a force out but had no chance to get Infante at first, and Victor Martínez scored on the play. Verlander, who threw a four-hit shutout in Game 5 of the 2012 ALDS, also in Oakland, was brilliant again. He retired the first 16 Oakland batters before giving up a one-out walk to Josh Reddick in the sixth inning. He lost his no-hit bid with two outs in the seventh, when Yoenis Céspedes hit a hard single to center, but escaped the inning with no damage. Verlander would leave after eight shutout innings, surrendering two hits and one walk, while striking out ten. Closer Joaquín Benoit surrendered a two-out double to Jed Lowrie and hit Céspedes with a pitch to bring the tying run to the plate for the second straight game. But he got Seth Smith to fly out to short right field, ending the game and the series.

Verlander's effort gave him 30 straight scoreless innings against the A's in the playoffs, breaking the record for scoreless innings against one team in the postseason set by Christy Mathewson (28). The A's also struck out 57 times in the series, breaking the old record for a best-of-five playoff series of 55 strikeouts set by the 2010 Tampa Bay Rays. Both Austin Jackson of the Tigers and Brandon Moss of the A's fanned 13 times in the series, setting an ALDS record for an individual player.

The Tigers made it to the ALCS for the third straight season, becoming the first team to do so since the 1998–2001 New York Yankees made four straight appearances. The Athletics have now lost their last six winner-take-all Game 5s, the last two at the hands of the Tigers (2012 and 2013). They are now 1–12 in playoff-clinching games since 2000, the only win coming in 2006 when they swept the Minnesota Twins in the ALDS.[22]
