BOSTON — After three years of mediocrity, frustration and failure in Boston, during a season in which they traded away a franchise player while watching a rookie phenom rise to power, the Red Sox are returning to the postseason.

The resulting American League Wild Card standings are below, and for the first time in nearly three months, the Blue Jays are not alone atop the AL East. On the surface, the Red Sox …

After 159 games that have included a Yankees midseason nosedive and a Blue Jays late-season collapse, all that separates the AL East is a tiebreaker.  Three games this weekend in The Bronx and three games in Toronto will decide a division, a bye and perhaps the balance of power in the American League.  “We know we’ve got to go out …

The Tigers finally did it. For the first time since Sept. 14 and for just the second time in the last two weeks, Detroit won a baseball game Thursday night, defeating the rival Guardians 4-2 at Progressive Field.
