wild cards still up for grabs on final day

On the morning of the final day of the regular season, the wild card spots in each league are still undecided.

In Atlanta, the Phillies stopped the Braves, 7-1 while the Cardinals rallied to beat the Astros 13-6 in Houston. Those results leave Atlanta and St Louis in a flat tie with just 1 game left. If they are still tied after today's games, there will be a 1-game playoff in St Louis Thursday.

In the AL, the Rays beat the Yankees, 5-3, and the Red Sox held off the Orioles, 8-7. If these 2 are still tied, their playoff tomorrow will be in St Petersburg.

Carlos Ruiz (.286) had a double and scored a run in the Phillies' victory, with Joe Savery, Antonio Bastardo and Kyle Kendrick throwing an inning each. Michael Bourn had a hit and stole his 59th base for the Braves in the losing effort........In Detroit, the Tigers beat the Indians again, 9-6. Jason Donald (.318) had a hit and a walk, and drove in 2 runs for the Tribe, and Lou Marson (.230) had a single and a walk and scored a run.
