NEW YORK — Even though they let a win get away Wednesday night, the Boston Red Sox locked up something more important. RelatedFarrell and other Red Sox said they knew the Blue Jays had lost and what that meant, but they were focused on closing out their own game at the time. Red Sox executives, however, jumped out of their front-row seats next to the Boston dugout and rejoiced when the Blue Jays’ game ended. That only stunned the Red Sox for a short time, though. After winning the 2013 World Series, Boston finished last twice in a row.
