A huge night for the Rays Friday as they knocked off the Mariners 5-3 while the Red Sox were able to hold off the Yankees 10-8. In Magic Numbers, that translates to shaving one off the Wildcard and two off the Division, more importantly, it means the Rays are back on top of the AL East.
MAGIC NUMBERS:
Rays: Wild Card = 3, Division = 9
Yankees: Wild Card = 3, Division = 10
