*All times p.m., ET 

American League

Cleveland 4, Chicago White Sox 3 – F

Paul Konerko hit a solo home run in the ninth inning, but it wasn’t enough to keep Chris Perez from earning his 37th save of the season. Chicago is in a dogfight with Detroit at the top of the AL Central, and every loss is a big deal.

White Sox: 82-72 (tied for first in AL Central)

Indians: 64-91 (fifth in AL Central)

Toronto 4, Baltimore 0 – F

Aaron Laffey combined with five other pitchers to shutout the Baltimore offense on Tuesday night. Joe Saunders struggled on the bump for the Orioles, and they couldn’t take a step forward in their race for the AL East title.

Blue Jays: 68-86 (fifth in AL East)

Orioles: 88-67 (second in AL East, first in AL wild card)

Detroit 2, Kansas City 0 – F

Anibal Sanchez hurled a complete game shutout when Detroit needed it the most. He only allowed three hits and struck out 10. Prince Fielder and Delmon Young each supplied an RBI.

Tuesday night’s win was massive, with Detroit tying the White Sox for the AL Central lead.

Tigers: 82-72 (tied for first in AL Central, tied for fourth in AL wild card)

Royals: 70-84 (third in AL Central)

Tampa Bay 5, Boston 2 – F

David Price tied Jered Weaver for the AL’s league lead in wins with his 19th victory on Tuesday. Jeff Keppinger’s three-run shot in the second inning set the pace for the Rays’ offense.

Rays: 84-70 (third in AL East, third in AL wild card)

Red Sox: 69-86 (fourth in AL East)

Oakland 3, Texas 2 – F

Josh Hamilton started Tuesday night’s scoring with a two-run single in the first inning, but the Athletics closed the job, George Kottaras and Christ Carter each supplied home runs.

Athletics: 87-67 (second in AL West, second in AL wild card)

Rangers: 91-63 (first in AL West)

Minnesota 5, NY Yankees 4 – F

The Yankees’ offense was given three home runs, including a solo shot by Andruw Jones in the ninth inning, but they couldn’t take advantage of the Orioles’ loss on Tuesday. Phil Hughes started the game, but gave up four runs in 6.2 innings.

Twins: 65-90 (fourth in AL Central)

Yankees: 89-65 (first in AL East)

Seattle at L.A. Angels, 10:05

The Angels sit two games back in the AL wild-card race, even though an AL West crown is virtually out of the question. Zack Greinke seeks his sixth win with Los Angeles in a Tuesday nightcap.

National League

Philadelphia 6, Washington 3- F

Darin Ruf, Carlos Ruiz and Dominic Brown all went yard for the Phillies in Tuesday night’s win, and Cole Hamels earned his 16th win of the season. Washington still has a firm hold on the NL East lead, but they didn’t get closer to clinching.

Phillies: 78-76 (third in NL East, fourth in NL wild card)

Nationals: 93-61 (first in NL East)

Atlanta 4, Miami 3 – F

Kris Medlen wasn’t as sharp as normal, but he still struck out eight over seven strong innings. The Braves continue their torrid pace, winning eight of their last 10 games, and this win meant the most. Freddie Freeman’s two-run walk-off homer in the ninth clinched them the NL wild card.

Braves: 89-65 (second in NL East, first in NL wild card)

Marlins: 66-88 (fifth in NL East)

Cincinnati 4, Milwaukee 2 – F

Johnny Cueto snagged his 19th win of the season Tuesday night, throwing seven strong innings. The Reds had nine hits as a team, and the Brewers couldn’t take grab a game in the NL wild-card race.

Reds: 93-61 (first in NL Central)

Brewers: 79-75 (third in NL Central, third in NL wild card)

St. Louis 4, Houston 0 – F

Jaime Garcia earned his sixth win of the season behind seven shutout innings on Tuesday. Garcia received nine hits worth of support from the Cardinals offense as they try and secure a NL wild card spot.

Cardinals: 84-71 (second in NL Central, second in NL wild card)

Astros: 50-105 (sixth in NL Central)

L.A. Dodgers at San Diego, 10:05

The Dodgers are 3.5 games out of a wild-card spot with time running out. Josh Beckett is 1-2 with a 3.45 ERA since joining the Dodgers in August, and he will battle 10-game winner Edinson Volquez in Petco Park. 

Arizona at San Francisco, 10:15

The Giants already locked up the NL West crown, but it wouldn’t hurt to get Tim Lincecum back on track before postseason play begins. Lincecum will seek to improve on his 4.91 ERA as the Giants battle the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.
