BOSTON — The Rays are headed to Cleveland for the best-of-three wild-card series that opens Friday.
That became official Tuesday night when the Rays lost a rain-shortened game to the Red Sox, 6-0, and the Mariners scored a 7-6 walk-off 10-inning win over the Tigers.
The Mariners are locked into the second spot in the three-team American League wild-card field, sending them to Toronto to face the top wild-card Blue Jays. The Rays finished third and will face the AL Central champ Guardians.
