AL competitors check-in: Mariners rise, Blue Jays and Rangers tumble
It was an interesting week in the American League. None of the division leads altered hands, yet there was a shakeup in bush Card standings and two division races stay close. The Mariners' unbelievable run has proceeded. On August 1st they were 55-52 and in fourth location in the AL West. Because then they have actually gone 17-4 and have not just claimed a WC place, they have actually almost captured the Rangers in their department. Just wild. AL EastThings are remaining tight between the Orioles and Rays in the AL East.
