2013: Two teams clinch division titles today. The Athletics secure their second straight AL West crown with an 11-7 win over the Twins as Coco Crisp hits a three-run homer and Jed Lowrie and Daric Barton add solo shots, negating a homer and six RBIs by Twins rookie Oswaldo Arcia. In the NL East, Atlanta wins its first title since 2005 as its closest pursuers, the Nationals, lose, 4-2, to the Marlins. The Braves then defeat the Cubs, 5-2, as they now set their eyes on finishing the year with the best record in the National League.
