NEW YORK – Raul Ibanez tied it with a pinch-hit homer in the ninth inning then had an RBI single in the 12th, helping the Yankees remain a game up on Baltimore in the AL East with a game to go by beating the Boston Red Sox, 4-3, on Tuesday night.

The Yankees need a win or Orioles loss on the final day of the season to secure their 13th division title since 1996. If the teams end up even after today’s games, they’ll play a tiebreaker Thursday in Baltimore.

Orioles 1, Rays 0: At St. Petersburg, Fla., Chris Davis homered for the sixth straight game, and Baltimore overcame a club-record 15 strikeouts by James Shields to beat Tampa Bay, pushing the AL East race to the final day of the season.
