The Red Sox kept themselves in the American League East race for another day and moved closer to clinching a postseason berth with their win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

The Red Sox win kept them in second place in the wild card, 2 games ahead of the third-place Tigers and 3 games ahead of the Astros, who lost to the A’s.

Boston could clinch a playoff berth on Thursday before they even take the field if the Astros lose to the A’s at 3:35. If not the Red Sox would get in with a win vs. Toronto at 7 p.m.

The Blue Jays’ loss dropped them into a tie with the Yankees. Both teams, who have each clinched a playoff spot, are 90-68. Toronto holds the tie-breaker.
