Detroit, MI - Going into the 8th inning of last night's American League Championship Series Game 2, most had chalked up another win for the Detroit Tigers but with one swing of the bat, David Ortiz tied the game and set the stage for an amazing Red Sox victory in the bottom of the ninth.

Through two games, the 2013 ALCS on FOX is averaging a 4.7/8 (7.5 million viewers), up +21% over last year's 3.9/6 for NLCS on FOX, tying 2010's LCS average as FOX's highest-rated through two games since 2009.
