Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays, who, by defeating the White Sox today, climbed another hill in their astonishing rise from last place last season to the top of the AL East this year. That's notable enough, but that's the same division which houses the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox and the Toronto Blue Jays. Formidable franchises all, and it's a real credit to the Tampa team that they managed to beat them all.
They await the winner of the Red Sox - Angels series; Game Four is being played right now. If the Sox win they play the Rays; if the Angels win they play the Sox again for a winner-take-all Game Five on Wednesday.
Update: The Red Sox win in the bottom of the ninth.
