Game 1: Gordie Ager was solid and the Rays beat the White Sox 3-1. Ager went 5.2 4 1 1 1 7 but didn't get the win as he couldn't finish the 6th and the Rays went ahead in the 7th, so Ed Pretty (4-0) picked it up. Chris Martin recorded save #37 with a perfect 9th. Jeff Baer's RBI single in the 7th was the game-winner and Seth Williams got the Rays on the board in the 1st with HR #18.

Game 2: The Rays won another low-scoring affair, scoring twice in the 10th to take a 4-2 win. Josh Alexander's RBI single broke the tie, and Luis Barela had HR #34 earlier in the game and Josh Beckett was 3-5 with an RBI as he reached the 100-ribbie mark for the first time. Johnny Soland was the usual mixed bag, going 5 5 1 1 4 3 and Leo Bernal picked up his first Rays win pitching the 9th and 10th.

Game 3: It was Chicago's turn to win a close, low-scoring game as Satoshi Sato (6-1) surrendered a homer in the 8th to allow the White Sox to take a 3-2 win. Brad Jackson pitched well in his final regular season start at 6 3 2 2 2 4, finishing the year 15-8, 3.94 and with an impressive 4.4 WAR. Jose Mendez led off the game with HR #22 but the offensive did little from there.

Game 4: The Rays took the series from Chicago with a 5-1 win in the finale behind a fine Jim Brophy performance. The lefty closed out the followup season to his 2043 Cy Young by going 6 2 0 0 2 5 and ends up 21-4, 4.31 with 4.9 WAR as a .319 BABIP inflated his runs against. Doug Johns was 3-5 with a double and 2 RBI to lead the attack.

Team record: 119-39. Next up: We close out the regular season with 4 games in Texas, including a makeup of a Publix Park rainout with a doubleheader on Friday.

MLB Playoff Race Update: Everything is done and dusted in the NL with the Mets, Cubs and Giants division winners and the Nationals and Reds clinching wild cards. The AL contains the only race remaining, the battle for the second wild card between the Yankees and Jays as New York has pulled into a tie with Toronto. Toronto goes to Fenway while the Yankees host the Orioles over the final weekend. Otherwise the Rays, White Sox and Mariners have won their divisions and the A's hold the first wild card.
