The Red Sox can clinch a playoff spot tonight if they beat the Orioles and the Royals beat Cleveland.

Boston has won 10 of its last 12 games, and 17 of its last 21. ... The magic number to clinch the AL East is four. ... The Rays host the Rangers.

This year's team got to 92 wins faster (151 games) than any Red Sox team since the 1950 club (also 151 games).
