Rays Win Wild Card Game

Leading the way for the Rays was left fielder Juan Puentes, who had a spectacular series and was named MVP.

"I don't play differently in the regular season or playoffs. I just go out and do my best every game," he said. "It's certainly nice to play in the big game, but you can't let it get to your head and change your focus."

The Tampa Bay Rays will play against the Toronto Blue Jays in the next round. Toronto had a bye in the Wild Card Game. The Division Series is scheduled to begin on October 10th , 2043.
