Zack Greinke pitched well in his Angels debut, striking out eight batters in seven innings, walking just one. He allowed seven hits and just two runs, but that was two too many. Jeremy Hellickson and the Rays bullpen combined to allow four hits and no walks, striking out eight as the Rays win 2-0.

With Oakland and LAnaheim losing to the Orioles and Rays, the AL Wild Card race gets a bit closer. Detroit is one game back of the Angels for the second slot, while the Orioles and Rays are tied two games back. Including the leaders, eight AL teams are no more than five games back in the wild card race.
