[edit] American League Playoff

At the end of the season, the Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians were tied for first place. This led to the first-ever one-game playoff in the American League. Played at Fenway Park, the Indians defeated the Red Sox 8-3 in the 1948 playoff game. Indians third baseman Ken Keltner contributed to the victory with his single, double, and 3-run homer over the Green Monster in Fenway Park in the 4th inning. The Indians moved on to the 1948 World Series versus the Red Sox crosstown rival, the Boston Braves.
