ST. PETERSBURG. Fla. (AP) — Mike Zunino, Brandon Lowe and Willy Adames had two-out, run-scoring singles in the fifth inning as the AL East champion Tampa Bay Rays beat Philadelphia 4-3 and damaged the Phillies’ postseason hopes. Andrew McCutchen had four hits for Philadelphia, which has lost six of seven. The Phillies started the day one game behind San Francisco for the second NL wild card. The Giants faced San Diego later Saturday. Tampa Bay clinched the AL No. 1 seed about 30 minutes before game time, when Oakland lost 5-1 to Seattle in the first game of a doubleheader.
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians suffered a setback in their bid to host a first-round playoff series, losing 8-0 to Joe Musgrove and the major league-worst Pittsburgh Pirates. Musgrove (1-5) earned his first victory in a year, allowing three hits while striking out 10 in a season-high seven innings. The right-hander did not allow a run in his final two outings, striking out 21 over 13 frames. Rookie Ke’Bryan Hayes had five hits and Colin Moran drove in four runs for Pittsburgh. The Indians had their six-game winning streak snapped. Cleveland needs to win Sunday and have the White Sox lose to avoid starting the playoffs on the road.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Kenny Pickett threw for 220 yards two touchdowns, and No. 21 Pittsburgh sacked Louisville quarterback Malik Cunningham seven times in a 23-20 victory. The Panthers moved to 3-0 for the first time since 2014 behind a relentless defense that kept the 24th-ranked Cardinals in check for most of the afternoon. Pitt limited Louisville to 223 total yards, half of its season average coming in. Cunningham left the game on a stretcher late in the fourth quarter with an undisclosed injury after getting hit on Louisville’s final offensive snap.
