American MLB shortstop, Rays
The Red Sox have secured an American League wild-card berth after a 5-1 loss by Boston and a Houston loss to Atlanta. A season started with turmoil after April firings but turned around under interim manager Chad Tracy. Boston now faces a likely rematch with the Yankees in the AL Wild Card series at Yankee Stadium.
The Milwaukee Brewers have moved within one win of their first World Series title after a dominant 10-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, with Robert Gasser delivering six scoreless innings and Jackson Chourio and Brice Turang fueling the offense in Game 3. Milwaukee now leads the series 3-0.
