The Royals and Tigers both lost tonight. Detroit lost 5-4 in Washington to the Nationals, KC fell to the Orioles 5-3 in Baltimore. That tightens up the AL Central race. The Tigers are 19-13, Kansas City is 17-13 and the Indians are 18-14. KC and Cleveland are 1 game behind Detroit. The Indians go to Detroit tomorrow and KC plays in Baltimore again. Baltimore is hot and they lead the AL East at 21-13, tied with Boston and 1/2 game ahead of the Yankees.

The Canadiens are facing elimination at the hands of the Ottowa Senators. They are down 4-1 with 9 minutes in the 3rd. The Pens are up 4-0  over the Islanders with 2 minutes left. The Pens will go up 3-2 in the series. As I was typing this, Ottowa scored again, 5-1 with 7 minutes left.
