With a 7-2 home victory over the Minnesota Twins, the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays officially
clinched the first playoff berth in the 11-year history of the franchise.
Their next challenge, naturally, will be to try and stave off the Red Sox and win the division. We'll see how that goes.
The Rays became only the second AL team-- and 11th overall-- to go from last place to a playoff berth in successive years.
