The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox scored dramatic late inning wins to bring the Major League Baseball regular season to an enthralling end on Sunday, setting up a wildcard showdown between the long-time rivals.
The final day of a 162-game, six-month marathon began with four teams -- the Yankees, Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners -- all in contention for two American League wildcards and when the dust settled it was two of baseball's most storied clubs still standing.
Rafael Devers broke open a 5-5 tie in the top of the ninth with his second homer of the day, a one-out, two-run shot to deep centre field. The Blue Jays did what they had to do, hammering the Baltimore Orioles 12-4 while the Mariners season finished with a disappointing 7-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels.
Over in the National League, the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants, Major League Baseball's two top teams, started play with top spot in the West division up for grabs.
