Ellsbury becomes the first 30/30 player in Red Sox history by hitting a 14th inning homer to lift the Sox a full game over TB for the wild card. Wow! One full game? Yeesh.

Now they go to finish up in Baltimore (who just beat them up at Fenway) while the Rays host the Yankees, who have nothing to play for. Although, if I were the Yankees, I think I'd rather play hard and hope to get the Sox in the first round of the playoffs, than rest up and possibly face Tampa Bay's pitching in a 5-game series.
