All but two divisions have been decided, but that doesn’t erase the intrigue surrounding the final two days of baseball season.

The American League East is still up for grabs, as the Baltimore Orioles and New York Yankees battle it out for the crown.

The same goes for the AL West. The Texas Rangers hold a one-game lead over the Oakland Athletics, but the underdog A’s can clinch the crown with two wins over Texas, beginning Tuesday night.

As far as the National League goes, a tiny sliver of competition in the wild-card race leaves the door open, but things on that side of the league are mostly decided.

Only two nights of regular-season baseball action remain. Check back here for all of Tuesday night’s recaps as they come in.

*All times p.m., ET 

American League

Boston 3, NY Yankees 4 – F/12

The Yankees had two hits—including two from league leader Derek Jeter—to earn an extra-innings win over their heated rival.

With Baltimore’s win earlier in the night, this victory became even more important. Now, the two teams head into the regular season’s final day separated by one game.

Raul Ibanez’s game-winning single scored Francisco Cervelli to give New York the win and Derek Lowe the victory in relief.

Yankees: 94-67 (first in AL East)

Red Sox: 69-92 (out)

Baltimore 1, Tampa Bay 0 – F

Miguel Gonzalez pitched like the AL East was on the line for the Orioles, which is good, because it was.

Through 6.1 innings, the right-hander struck out seven. He was picked up by the Baltimore bullpen, with Jim Johnson eventually earning his 51st save of the season.

The Orioles’ lone run came in the fourth inning via a Chris Davis solo shot.

Orioles: 93-68 (second in AL East, first in AL wild card)

Rays: 89-72 (out)

Detroit 2, Kansas City 4 – F

Detroit lost the game, but good news Detroit fans: Miguel Cabrera still leads the Triple-Crown race. At least until Josh Hamilton finishes up tonight, he does.

Jeremy Guthrie earned the win for the Royals, but Cabrera did pick up one RBI in the losing effort.

The Tigers clinched the AL Central last night, giving any loss less meaning.

Tigers: 87-74 (clinched AL Central)

Royals: 72-89 (out)

Texas 1, Oakland 3 – F

Well, folks, it all comes down to this. One night, one game for the AL West title. Oakland’s win Tuesday night sets up a one-game showdown for all the marbles on Wednesday.

Travis Blackley earned the win for the As, allowing one run through six innings. He outdueled Matt Harrison  and was fueled by a Derek Norris single that scored two runs.

Jonny Gomes’ solo shot in the sixth inning was just gravy.

Tune in Wednesday; you don’t want to miss it.

Rangers: 93-68 (tied for first in AL West, tied for first in AL wild card)

Athletics: 93-68 (tied for first in AL West, ties for first in AL wild card)

National League

Atlanta 1, Pirates 5 – F

The Braves’ playoff spot isn’t in jeopardy, and the Pirates aren’t going to make .500 (again), but Atlanta would prefer to stay hot entering the playoffs.

Kevin Correia earned his 12th win of the season for Pittsburgh, allowing one run through 6.2 innings, while Tommy Hanson continues to struggle for Atlanta.

Braves: 93-68 (second in NL East, first in NL wild card)

Pirates: 79-82 (out)

Philadelphia 2, Washington 4 – F

The Nationals sewed up the NL East with Atlanta’s loss on Monday, but it never hurts to ride out a little momentum.

Washington used six pitchers and nine total hits to earn Tuesday night’s victory. Zach Duke wound up earning his first decision of the season, as the squad halted their two-game losing streak.

Nationals: 97-64 (clinched NL East)

Phillies: 81-80 (out)

Cincinnati 3, St. Louis 1 – F

St. Louis is in the playoffs, unless it loses its final two games and the Dodgers snag their final two contests against the Giants. Well, St. Louis is one step closer to disappointment.

Chris Carpenter allowed three runs through six innings, and the Cards could not solve Mat Latos and the Reds bullpen.

With Clayton Kershaw set to go for Los Angeles tomorrow, a Dodgers win on Tuesday could make things very interesting.

Reds: 97-64 (clinched NL Central)

Cardinals: 87-74 (first in NL wild card)

San Francisco at LA Dodgers, 10:10

The Dodgers must win Tuesday night if they want to have a chance at an NL wild-card berth. If they can’t, it’s over.

Chris Capuano will take on Barry Zito in the Tuesday nightcap.
