Ramirez keeps White Sox in playoff hunt
The Tampa Bay Rays will sit around another day before learning their first-round playoff opponent, thanks to Alexei Ramirez.
His sixth-inning grand slam highlighted a five-run sixth inning for the Chicago White Sox en route to an 8-2 rout of the visiting Detroit Tigers in Monday's makeup game.
The win moved the White Sox into a first-place tie with Minnesota, which visits Chicago on Tuesday (6:30 p.m. CT) for a one-game playoff for the American League Central Division title.
Tuesday's winner will travel to Florida to open a best-of-five AL Division Series against the East champion Rays, who are making their first playoff appearance in the team's 11-year history.
Chicago suffered a three-game sweep at Minnesota last week and has dropped 10 of 18 meetings against the Twins this season, but holds a 7-2 edge at home.
