This game would be very important in the final standings as Cleveland, Tampa Bay, and Texas went down the wire in the AL Wildcard race, but in the moment it was notable as a clean Ubaldo Jimenez start. It got off to an inauspicious start as he walked Matt Joyce to lead off the game, but that would be the only walk he allowed as he shut out the Rays for eight innings on four hits with seven strikeouts in a tidy 108 pitches. His counterpart Chris Archer was touched for two-run homers by Jason Giambi and Asdrubal Cabrera.
