MLB news: Oct. 6 -- Rays are champs of AL East
They waited until the final day, but the Tampa Bay Rays are the champions of the American League East Division after a 3-1 win over the Detroit Tigers on the final day of the season.
The Rays (91-71) finished the season two-games in front of the New York Yankees.
Tampa Bay will be the No. 3 seed in the AL playoffs and will face the Seattle Mariners in the opening round.
This will be the sixth straight playoff appearance for the Rays, but it is their first division title since 2020.
Tampa Bay has reached the World Series only one time, losing to the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2008 Fall Classic.
