The Tampa Bay Rays are in their first-ever World Series.

The Rays defeated the Boston Red Sox by a score of 3-1 Sunday to win the American League Championship Series 4 games to 3.

The Rays had jumped out to a 3-1 series lead over the Red Sox, only to see the Sox come back and tie it at three games. But Sunday was the Rays' night, and after falling behind early the Rays battled back to defeat Boston and continue their history-making season.

The Rays will face the Philadelphia Phillies starting Wednesday at 8 p.m. with the first two games being played in St. Petersburg..
