Boston clinched a postseason berth in dramatic fashion at Fenway, erasing a 3-1 deficit with late-inning rallies in the seventh, eighth and ninth. Ceddanne Rafaela lined a Tommy Kahnle fastball off the top of the center-field wall, scoring Romy González from first and delivering the winning run that sealed the playoff bid. Boston’s magic number had stood at one, and the clinch came as the AL race remained unsettled with two games left to play.

Two games remain as the Tigers, Astros and Guardians chase the final two wild-card spots. Blue Jays and A’s results also factor into the chaos, making late-September rotations and bullpen usage critical for fantasy managers eyeing postseason rosters and starting-pitching matchups in October.
