AL East race: September 6, 2008

MLB.com: Percival, Rays drop series vs. Jays

Greg Zaun hit a walk-off grand slam in the 13th inning to hand the Rays a 7-4 loss at Rogers Centre on Saturday. With the loss, Tampa Bay (85-55) has now dropped four out of its last five games.

Rays closer Troy Percival entered the game in the 13th inning looking to earn a save. However, he could not do so after loading the bases and allowing the slam to Zaun.

MLB.com: Red Sox can’t dig out of early hole

Making his 500th career appearance in a Red Sox uniform, Tim Wakefield lasted just 1 2/3 innings before getting pulled. He surrendered seven runs in the second inning, digging a hole the Red Sox couldn’t climb out of in a 15-8 loss at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

TBR 85-55
BOS 83-58 (2.5 GB; lead wildcard by 5.5)

Percival is doing the Rays a disservice by insisting on pitching while he's hurt. After his dominant April, he's been pretty bad honestly. Wheeler or Balfour should be closing.

That was a thoroughly enjoyable game.
