Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Thrilling extra-inning affair goes against the M’s

The Yankees were set to take on their archrivals in Boston on Monday, but the weather had other ideas and instead both teams were inactive. As they sat out the rain, the rest of the playoff field was out and at it trying to nail down those elusive postseason berths, so let’s see how they did:

Texas Rangers (79-64) 10, Toronto Blue Jays (80-64) 4

After trading a few runs back-and-forth to open the game, Texas had a 3-2 lead entering the sixth inning against Chris Bassitt. There Robbie Grossman and Leody Taveras slapped back-to-back singles to put runners on the corners, and Bassitt tossed a wild pitch that allowed a run to come home.
