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. The victory halted an eight-game losing streak for the Tigers and finally cooled off Cleveland, which has soared back into the postseason …

Here are four things we’ll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world today: 1. Raleigh chasing Judge’s record: The Mariners clinched the AL West yesterday, and they did so on back of two more home runs from AL MVP candidate Cal Raleigh. Those homers were the 59th and 60th of Raleigh’s season, making him the seventh player in …

TORONTO — Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet said he’s “not at all satisfied” after making his final regular season start Wednesday. “We still got a lot of games that we intend on playing, and I don’t intend on that being my last one,” Crochet said. The 26-year-old lefty tossed eight scoreless innings in the Red Sox’ 7-1 victory over the …

Paul Toboni seemingly faced a choice: Continue building what he helped start with the Boston Red Sox, or become the lead decision-maker for the Washington Nationals. Toboni, 35, chose the No. 1 job, opting to become the Nationals’ president of baseball operations rather than remain in contention to be the general manager of the Red Sox under chief baseball officer …

It is a significant loss for the Sox’ front office, at a time when chief baseball officer Craig Breslow wants to …

While much of New England was sleeping Tuesday night, the Red Sox’ chances of returning to the postseason got a huge boost out west. The Astros lost to the Athletics, 5-1, in West Sacramento, dropping Houston — the top runner-up in the American League wild card race — to two games behind the Red Sox, who beat Toronto, 4-1, earlier …

The winding road — which included a hastily executed Plan B following Juan Soto bolting for Queens, a painful spring training and Gerrit Cole crusher and a strong first half before a downturn through June and July in which every physical and mental error screamed Maybe this isn’t the year — led to a drenched clubhouse filled with champagne, beers …

The Red Sox couldn’t hold onto the lead to reward Kyle Harrison with a win for a terrific start, but they rallied to secure a key victory anyway. They still lost a little ground to the Guardians, who swept a doubleheader from the Twins. But Boston gained ground on the Astros and Blue Jays and kept pace with the Yankees …

The Red Sox trailed early and had some anxious moments in the ninth, but their come-from-behind to start their three-game series in Tampa allowed Boston to maintain its lead over the Guardians, leap over the Astros and gain ground on the Yankees in an eventful night in the American League playoff races. The Red Sox’s 11-7 win combined with the …
