Tonight is the rubber match in Texas between the Rangers and the California Angels. This is the last game this season between these two teams.

Rumor has it that RF Tony Oliva will be looking to depart from the Minnesota Twins in the off-season.

The St Louis Cardinals have been mathematically eliminated from the post season.
