Nothing was decided yesterday as the Red Sox and Yankees split a doubleheader. Eric Patterson's walk-off single in the second game gave the Sox the win. Earlier in the game, with the score 4-2 Yanks, Josh Reddick nailed a ground ball to Lance Berkman with Daniel Nava on second. Berkman tossed it to New York pitcher A.J. Burnett, but Reddick was called safe. Burnett argued with the umpire and did not notice Nava breaking for home until it was too late. The Rays, meanwhile, shut out K.C. 4-0, so the two teams are tied atop the A.L. East.
In the National League, nothing was decided about the playoffs. San Diego beat the Giants 4-2 as Tim Lincecum left in the fourth for the Giants. Meanwhile, the Phillies blew away Atlanta 7-0, so San Diego and Atlanta are tied for the wild card and San Francisco has a tight one-game lead on the Pods. At the end of the day today, all three of the teams could have identical records, as the three of them fight for two remaining playoff spots.
Trivia
The Rays broke their four-game losing streak last night.
They needed eight pitchers to shut out Kansas City.
