Red Sox clinch, again.

BOSTON _ The Red Sox clinched the best record in baseball ltonight and will have home-field advantage throughout the postseason, including the World Series.

Following the Sox’ 6-4 victory tonight over the Minnesota Twins, and with Kansas City beating the Cleveland Indians, 4-3, Boston secured the top spot.

Boston informed the commissioner’s office that it has decided to start the ALDS against the Angels on Wednesday. That means the Sox’ Josh Beckett will start Game 1 and Curt Schilling will likely get the nod in Game 2 on Friday. Both games are at Fenway Park. Because Boston elected to start a day earlier, it’s possible Beckett could pitch Game 4 (if necessary) on Monday in Anaheim
