Due to [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=2068]Detroit beating Milwaukee, 5-4[/url], the [b:96eda89ef2]AL East[/b:96eda89ef2] remains with the Yankees and Tigers only 1 game apart with 3 to play. [i:96eda89ef2]"Taps"[/i:96eda89ef2] was heard playing in Canada as Toronto became mathematically eliminated last night. Nice run though for the Jays.

With just 3 games left, a 1 game lead is hardly safe for the Cards.

Dan Gladden scored the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning as Astro RP Charlie Kerfeld tossed a 55 foot curveball giving the Giants the win. With 3 days and 3 games a piece, Houston now has only a 1 game lead over San Diego.
