Since the game took place on the West Coast, you may have missed that the Oakland A’s beat Texas last night to tie the Rangers for the lead in the American League West. With that, the A’s and Rangers will play for the West Division title with the loser heading to the new American League Wild Card game on Friday either against the Baltimore Orioles or the New York Yankees.
It was announced by Brian Kenny during MLB Tonight last night that the game will be picked up by MLB Network at 3:30 p.m. ET today. So here’s the MLB Network announcement.
