The Twins clinched at least a tie for the division lead today when the Indians lost to the Royals, but they are unable to beat the Red Sox and instead need a win or an Indians loss on the last day of the season to avoid a one game playoff. Tim Wakefield gets his 18th win of the season by allowing just 5 hits and 1 run over 7 innings. The Red Sox score all 5 of their runs in the 4th inning, when they loaded the bases and then hit 4 straight singles.
