September 20: Off-Day.

September 21: vs Boston 3-5 L. LP-Bradley (11-10, 5 6 3 3 2 5). HR-Isaac 2 (43), Morel (34). Boston scored twice in the 9th to open up a 1-run game and went on to the win despite a pair of Isaac homers.

September 22: vs Boston 0-1 L. LP-Robertson (3-4). Starter-H.Smith (6 6 0 0 0 7). With the division clinched the Rays emptied their bench tonight and it showed on offense with Boston scoring the game's only run in the 7th and H.Smith pitching a great game in vain.

September 23: vs Boston 4-3 W (10). WP-Bautista (13-4). Starter-Gasser (7 3 1 1 1 6). HR-C.Williams (20). Looked like the Rays would be swept after Boston scored twice in the top of the 10th but Williams' 3-run homer in the bottom of the inning won it.

September 24: vs Toronto 9-0 W. WP-McClanahan (16-5, 7 2 0 0 3 6). Mac lowered his ERA to 2.70 and bolstered his Cy Young case with a brilliant outing today. He was well supported with 2-run doubles from Kjerstad and Westburg the big hits.

September 25: vs Toronto 5-1 W. WP-Springs (5-5, 7 5 1 0 1 9). HR-Morel (35). Meadows' 2-run double in the 6th put them ahead to stay and Springs continued his red-hot run, rounding into form just in time for the playoffs. In 5 September starts he's allowed just 3 runs in 34 IP with a 5/40 BB/K ratio.

September 26: vs Toronto 7-2 W. WP-Bradley (12-10, 6 6 2 2 0 7). HR-P.Meadows (10), Westburg (17), Isaac (44). Rays completed the sweep thanks to a decent game from Taj and Meadows 3-run homer in the 3rd all the runs they'd end up needing.

Team record: 99-57. Although the division has been clinched for a week they're still in a fight for the #1 seed as Detroit went on a 9-1 tear to pull even with the Rays at one point during the week before falling back 2 games. Next week: We close out the regular season on the road with 3 games in Detroit and three more in Boston, so that first series could have a lot to say about seeding.

Players of the Week:

AL: Bobby Witt Jr (KC), 11-21, 0 HR, 7 RBI
NL: Seiya Suzuki (SD), 11-21, 3 HR, 7 RBI

MLB News: As we head into the final week of the season here's where things stand playoff-wise. In the AL Tampa Bay and Detroit have clinched their divisions and Seattle has all but done so in the West. Baltimore and Boston appear to be wild card locks leaving the third spot up for grabs with Minnesota leading Cleveland by 1/2 game and the White Sox by 1 full game.

In the NL Atlanta and San Diego are division winners while Cincinnati leads Milwaukee by only 1/2 game in the Central. The loser of that division and Colorado have wild cards wrapped up and WC3 right now has Miami 1/2 game over the Mets, 1 1/2 on Philly and 2 on St. Louis.
