BOSTON -- The ball settled into the right fielders glove, the Cleveland Indians poured onto the diamond and the Fenway fans fell silent.Then, slowly from the crowd rose a chant of Pa-pi!Cleveland swept the Red Sox out of the postseason and sent David Ortiz into retirement on Monday night with a 4-3 victory that completed a three-game AL Division Series sweep. But even as the Indians frolicked on the field in their celebratory hats and T-shirts, Boston fans werent ready to let their beloved Big Papi go.Im glad he didnt get a hit to beat us, manager Terry Francona said after leading the Indians to just the second postseason sweep in franchise history. I thought it was an honor to be on the field, competing against him in his last game, because hes truly one of the best. You could tell the way people were hanging around yelling his name and everything. He deserves every bit of that.Coco Crisp hit a two-run homer , closer Cody Allen got four outs and the Indians advanced the AL Championship Series for the first time since 2007. That year, they took a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series against Boston before losing three in a row.Cleveland also blew a 2-0 lead against Boston in the best-of-five round in 1999.But this year there would be no fold.Perhaps inspired by the Cavaliers NBA title -- the citys first pro sports championship since 1964 -- the Indians shut down Ortiz and the most prolific offense in the league. Rookie Tyler Naquin delivered a two-run single and Josh Tomlin pitched five strong innings for the Indians, who will open the ALCS at home against Toronto on Friday.Cleveland went 4-3 this year against the wild-card Blue Jays, who swept AL West champion Texas to reach the ALCS for the second straight year.Nobody in this clubhouse doubts what were what capable of, reliever Andrew Miller said as music blared and corks popped in the visitors clubhouse. I think we saw in our games in Cleveland how much support we have. Its a special place to be. I think we have bigger things ahead of us, but its not going to be any easier.To advance, the Indians had to shut down the most prolific offense in the major leagues and weather the emotional farewell to Ortiz . The Red Sox designated hitter went 1 for 9 in the series, collecting a sacrifice fly in Game 3 before walking on four pitches in his final plate appearance .Ortiz was lifted for a pinch runner in the eighth and left to a standing ovation.But that wasnt enough for the crowd of 39,530 -- the largest at Fenway since at least World War II. Chanting Were not leaving! and Thank you, Pa-pi! for more than 10 minutes while the Indians celebrated their victory, the crowd finally drew the beloved slugger back onto the field.Wearing a red warmup and a scowl on his face, Ortiz lumbered out to the mound and tipped his cap in all directions, tapping his heart. Only when the camera zoomed in on him did it become apparent that the frown was not regret over an early postseason exit: Big Papi was crying.Tonight when I walked to the mound, I realized that it was over. It was pretty much probably the last time as a player to walk in front of a crowd, Ortiz told reporters afterward. And the emotion came back out again.After two minutes, Ortiz retired to the dugout and retired for good, ending to a career that brought three World Series titles to Boston and transformed the once-futile franchise into winners.Im happy, not just for me, not just how my career went down, but for the organization, the step that we took, from going from last place to win the division this year, he told reporters. Even if things didnt end up the way we were looking for ... its like going from bad to good, from day to night.Making it their goal to send their beloved Big Papi out as a winner, the Red Sox managed to win the AL East -- the second time in four seasons they went from worst to first.Boston raised fans hopes with an 11-game winning streak in September but then lost eight of its last nine games, including the playoffs. After winning the first two games in the best-of-five AL Division Series, and then waiting an extra day because of Sundays rainout, the Indians it took a 2-0 lead off Clay Buchholz in the fourth inning on Naquins single.Tomlin gave up Andrew Benintendis Green Monster-scraping RBI double in the fifth, which gave some life to the Fenway crowd.But with one run in, one out, one on and the fans taunting the Indians starter -- Tom-lin! Tom-lin! -- he struck out Sandy Leon on a pitch in the dirt and then Jackie Bradley Jr. grounded out to first. In the sixth, Crisp hit a two-run homer over the left-field wall to make it 4-1.Buchholz allowed two runs and six hits in four innings, joining David Price and Rick Porcello as postseason losers.Tomlin allowed two runs on four in five-plus innings. Miller pitched two innings , Bryan Shaw got two outs and Allen came on to face Ortiz with two out and a man on first in the eighth.After walking on four pitches , Ortiz stood on first and waved his arms at the mostly dormant crowd. The fans rose to cheer for him and stayed there as Hanley Ramirez singled to make it 4-3.Now representing the tying run at second, Ortiz was lifted for pinch-runner Marco Hernandez, leaving the field to a raucous cheer. But even after coming out of the game, his work wasnt done: With one foot on the top step of the dugout, he continued to cheer the team on.Xander Bogaerts hit a hard line drive to second and Ortiz jumped onto the dirt, only to turn around and walk dejectedly back into the dugout when it was caught for the last out.In the ninth, Jackie Bradley Jr. singled with two out and Dustin Pedroia drew a walk on a 3-2 pitch. Travis Shaw worked the count full before popping up to end it.I was cheering so bad, Ortiz said. Once I got out of the game I was screaming at my team to put me back in it. Make me wear this uniform one more day. Because I wasnt ready to be over with the playoff. Reggie White Eagles Jersey . LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Their starting quarterback and running back never dressed, their top wide receiver joined them on the sideline with an injury of his own, and their Pro Bowl tight end was ejected by an official who didnt seem to think his antics were very funny.Good thing for the Kansas City Chiefs that everything was status quo on defense.That stout bunch kept Blake Bortles in check most of the afternoon, then stuffed the Jacksonville Jaguars on fourth down with less than 2 minutes remaining deep in their own territory, preserving a 19-14 win on Sunday made even more impressive by the long odds the Chiefs overcame.Thats what football is all about. Youre going to have weeks where you have injuries, said Nick Foles, who started in place of injured quarterback Alex Smith. You have to step up and make plays.Foles threw for 187 yards and a first-half touchdown toss to Albert Wilson, and helped to set up four field goals by Cairo Santos, as Kansas City (6-2) won its 10th consecutive home game.Meanwhile, the Jaguars (2-6) couldnt overcome four turnovers -- including a fumble at the goal line in the fourth quarter -- in their first game with quarterback coach Nathaniel Hackett directing the offense .Bortles was 22 of 41 for 252 yards and two touchdowns with a pick, showing little improvement after a week spent with his personal coach, Adam Dedeaux . His wide receivers hardly helped him, dropping several passes, including an early fourth-down throw that cost Jacksonville a chance at points.I thought Nathaniel called a great game, Bortles said. To run for 200 yards and throw for 200, or whatever, I thought it was awesome. If you look at the stat sheet minus the turnovers theres no way you say Kansas City won. But unfortunately, thats part of the game.Chris Ivory rumbled for 107 yards in the biggest bright spot for Jacksonville, but he fumbled going over the goal-line with 8:28 left in the game. The Jaguars quickly got the ball back, and Bortles hit T.J. Yeldon to get within 19-14 with 4:10 to go, but the extra time it took to score proved costly.They got the ball back with 3:01 remaining, and a long scamper by Bortles gave them a chance. But his pass on fourth-and-3 at the Kansas City 32 was batted to the ground and the Chiefs ran out the clock.We had four turrnovers and when you do that, any game in the NFL is hard to win, Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said.dddddddddddd And for us, we did it at critical times.The Chiefs played the whole way without Smith and starting running back Spencer Ware, who were out with head injuries, and offensive guard Parker Ehinger, who went on injured reserve with a knee injury.Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin hurt his groin on the Chiefs first series and did not return, and tight end Travis Kelce was tossed from the game in the fourth quarter after arguing over a pass interference no-call, then tossing his towel at the official as if it was a flag.As soon as the ref took off his hat (to throw), I knew I was out. Felt like an idiot, he said. It was a terrible decision, but just have to learn from it and keep going.What did Kelce learn from it?I cant throw my flag at the ref, he replied. He can throw his all day long.INJURIESJaguars wide receiver Allen Hurns left early in the second half with an ankle injury. He returned to the game, only to sustain a concussion while trying to make a catch later in the half. ... Jacksonville linebacker Myles Jack left with a hip injury.STATS AND STREAKSThe Chiefs have won three straight against Jacksonville. ...

Outside linebacker Dee Ford had both of Kansas Citys sacks, giving him 5 1/2 the past two weeks.LONG TRIP NOWHEREChiefs running back Knile Davis played after re-signing with Kansas City on Saturday.

It felt like I was home, he said.UP NEXT: The Jaguars return home to face the Texans on Sunday, while the Chiefs expect to have Alex Smith back when they visit Carolina.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
