MLB Playoff Race Update: The Mariners are not going away

American League East As we know, it was not a great day on the Red Sox side of things on Friday, as Boston dropped their series opener against New York by a score of 8-3. Meanwhile, the Rays were able to take care of business on their side of things, allowing just two hits as a team in an 8-0 romp over the Marlins. That combination means Tampa Bay can clinch this division as soon as Saturday, as it opened up their lead over Boston to seven games, and their magic number now sits at two.
