On to the roundup for the week...

The train that is about to run over the Indians, Tigers and Mariners is none other than the Bronx Express. The Yankees were left for dead in May. They have gone 20-7 since the All Star Break, and are now in the thick of the Wild Card race. The Red Sox may also want to look over their shoulders, because as Satchel Paige would tell them, "something is gaining on you". Once 12 games up on the Yankees, they wake up today only 5 games in front of their arch rivals.
