As the season draws to a close, many teams are eagerly watching the standings, checking on magic numbers, waiting for a postseason clinch or a division win.
The Cubs came close last night, but alas, a walkoff means they’ll need to wait a little longer. (Update: Losses from the Phillies and Reds mean the Cubs do indeed clinch a postseason berth!) Likewise the Rays‘ hopes of taking the AL East were put on pause by two New York teams: the Mets, who beat the Rays 5-2; and the Yankees, who refused to go gentle into the night, besting the Blue Jays 12-1.
