Milwaukee had pulled far enough ahead that there’s not much doubt as to whether or not they’ll win this division, but St. The Phillies now climb back to within two games of the Braves in the division. The Phillies, meanwhile, came back from an early 6-0 deficit to ultimately blow out the Pirates, winning 12-6. The Braves did not take care of business, taking a 4-1 lead into the seventh but leaving the inning trailing 6-4, which would be the final score.
The Braves and Phillies are jockeying for position in this division, and each had the pleasure of playing some of the worst teams in baseball on Thursday, with Atlanta taking on the Diamondbacks while the Phillies took on in-state rival Pittsburgh. Take a look at the entire shirt collection from our friends over at BreakingT, including the one pictured above.

Toronto, meanwhile, now trails the Yankees by a full game while Seattle sits two behind New York and Oakland sits four back. With the dust settled, the Red Sox still hold the top wildcard spot, leading New York (who comes to Boston starting tonight) by two games. Starting a four-game set against a bad Twins team, the Blue Jays gave up a big three-run homer to Nick Gordon in the fifth that helped Minnesota pull away and take a 7-2 victory. The other team left is Toronto, and they failed to get it done. We also know Seattle continued to beat up on Oakland to solidify their position in this race.
American League WildcardĪs we know, the Red Sox were off, and the Yankees were as well as they head to Fenway for this weekend’s three-game set. Houston still leads this division by seven games and has a magic number of three. They finished things off with a one-run victory powered by three homers. Seattle, meanwhile, continued their run by completing a four-game sweep of the Athletics. They were taking on the Angels Thursday night, and the bats were shut down by Alex Cobb for much of the night, leading to a 3-2 loss. Like the other two divisions in the AL, there isn’t much suspense in the West, though Houston didn’t get any closer to clinching another division title on Thursday. It’s their first Central title since 2008. In the first game of a doubleheader, they got two homers from Tim Anderson and a six-run second to help cruise to victory, ending this race.
They just needed one win to clinch it, and they didn’t waste any time. The White Sox entered the day with a magic number of two to clinch this division, and they were facing Cleveland, who trailed them in second place, five times this weekend. American League CentralĪnd we have the first race of 2021 to come to a conclusion.
Tampa Bay still leads by six with a magic number of four. There’s no changes atop the American League East from Thursday, with both the Red Sox and Rays having the day off.
