Wild card stuff: The Angels won while the Athletics lost. The Brewers, Dodgers and Phillies all won while St. Louis lost. Things are ... tightening.
In division races, the Giants reduced their magic number to two, meaning that they could clinch the NL West tonight. The Yankees win, but so too do the Orioles, leaving New York up by one. The White Sox lost a half game to the Tigers even though Detroit got rained out (Robin Ventura: “we just got our rear ends kicked”). The Rangers and A’s both lost, leaving Texas up by four.
