Follow us in our live blog for the last day of baseball as the New York Yankees face the Boston Red Sox in 162 as the Yankees fight for the A.L. East title.
More importantly, we will bring you scoring updates of the Baltimore Orioles' game against the Tampa Bay Rays, if in fact the Yankees trail at some point in this game.
The Yankees currently have control of their own destiny as a win can get them the A.L. East division.
Raul Ibanez has been a key figure for the Yanks coming up with the game tying home run in the ninth inning as the Yankees were a strike away from falling into a tie with the Orioles. Ibanez then stepped up to the plate in extra innings and sent a dribbler between the shortstop and third base to drive in Francisco Cirvelli for the game winner.
The O's defeated the Rays last night on a bomb from Chris Davis, despite James Shields pitching a gem in Tropicana Field and remained alive in the battle for the division.
Win today and the Yankees clinch. Lose today and the Yankees will need the Rays to give them a hand in getting into the playoffs.
Could it be that the Red Sox might let the Yankees win due to the Orioles spoiling the Red Sox' postseason chances last week?
Just food for thought, but I doubt it. The last thing the Red Sox want to do is watch the Yankees celebrate against them.
However, the Yankees have the edge as Hiroki Kuroda will step into the mound. The Red Sox will have a struggling Daisuke Matsuzaka on the mound.
