The Orioles decided the AL East race tonight with a 2-0 win over the Red Sox. The best they Rays can do is tie Baltimore for first place, but the Orioles hold the tie breaker. Tampa Bay gets the top wild card seed and will host the first round of the playoffs.

Dean Kremer started and pitched 5 1/3 shutout innings, striking out eight. Over all the pitching staff allowed just three hits and one walk to secure the division, with ten strikeouts total.

Anthony Santander homered in the first inning for the only run the Orioles would need.
