With one swing of his bat, Justin Maxwell gave the Royals hope, clinched a division title for the Oakland A’s and sent the Rangers reeling. His 10th inning, walk off grand slam sealed a 4-0 triumph for the Royals that eliminated the Rangers from the AL West race and kept KC in the Wild Card hunt.
The late inning heroics in Kansas City were set up by the brilliant 8 inning shutout performance by James Shields. He kept the Rangers off the board and gave the Royals a chance. He may not of received the decision in the 4-0 KC win, but he made it possible.
Billy Hamilton continues to be everything advertised and then some. He went 3-6 with a double and two more stolen bases. Now batting lead off and being a spark plug, the Reds clobbered the Pirates in a critical playoff match up, 11-3.
Yusmeiro Petit was not intimidated by the Yankee Stadium ceremonies. He was terrific into the 7th inning, matching zeros and letting up a single solo homer. He did not get the decision, but he set up the Giants 2-1 victory over the Yankees.

The Red Sox won the AL East.
I said they were going to stink. I was wrong. And MAN I am glad to eat crow about THAT one. And I do eat crow on The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
But the Pirates are making big mistakes, and none bigger than keeping Mark Melancon in the closer role.

The Dodgers earned their NL West title with an amazing second half. Remember they were only a game above .500 after the All Star Break.
Meanwhile the Diamondbacks look like a bunch of whining spineless wimps and I compared them to Sweathog Arnold Horshack.

With the pennant chases taking shape, it is interesting to see the potential World Series match ups in terms of a historical perspective.
For example, the Braves and A’s once met in the World Series. But it was two cities ago for each team.
And the A’s and Pirates could meet for the first time despite many near misses.
These topics and more on today’s episode of THE SULLY BASEBALL DAILY PODCAST.
