MLB Playoff Picture 2021: Yankees, Red Sox, Jays Still Alive in AL Wild Card Race

The 2021 American League Wild Card race got a whole lot tighter after the conclusion of Saturday afternoon's games.

The New York Yankees entered Saturday with a one-game edge on the Boston Red Sox and a two-game lead on the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners, but an ugly 12-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays has closed the gap.

Later in the afternoon, the Blue Jays beat the Baltimore Orioles 10-1 before the Boston Red Sox took down the Washington Nationals 5-3.

The Mariners have a 9:10 p.m. ET home matchup with the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday.
