The 2013 World Series was the 109th edition of Major League Baseball's championship

series. The American League champions Boston Red Sox defeated the National

League champions St. Louis Cardinals in the best-of-seven playoff 4 games to 2. The

Red Sox had home field advantage for the series, based on the American League's win

in the All-Star Game at Citi Field in Queens, New York, on July 16. The Series started

on Wednesday, October 23, ending on Game 6 the following Wednesday, October 30,

2013.

(previously meeting in 1946, 1967, and 2004). Winning in six games, the Red Sox

The 2013 Boston Red Sox season was the 113th in the team's history. The Red Sox

opened 2013 away from Fenway, playing against their arch-rival, the New York

Yankees on Monday, April 1. They closed the regular season on Sunday, September

29 away from Fenway against the Baltimore Orioles. A road series against the NL

West's Colorado Rockies was Boston's second-to-last series of the season. Major

League Baseball began conducting year-round interleague play (instead of having

interleague play confined to May and June) for the first time in 2013, due to the

relocation of the Houston Astros from the National League to the American League,

resulting in fifteen teams in each league.

Finishing with a record of 97 wins and 65 losses, 2013 marked the first season

since 2007 in which the Red Sox won the American League East and the first

season since 2009 in which they qualified for the postseason. Boston recovered

well from a disastrous 2012 campaign and won 28 more games in 2013 than in

2012. They defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in the Division Series and defeated the

Detroit Tigers in the ALCS to advance to their first World Series since 2007 and

their third in nine years. The Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals in 6 games to win

the 2013 World Series. The 2013 Red Sox became the second team to win the

World Series one year after finishing last in their division; the first had been the

1991 Minnesota Twins.
