THT Daily: Two More Inby Matthew CarruthSeptember 21, 2008 Major League News for September 21Player News Yesterday’s Results Today’s Games Standings You can always find the most recent THT Daily at http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/content/thtdaily/ Player NewsPlayer Headlines are courtesy of RotoworldDioner Navarro had three hits and an RBI as the Rays beat the Twins Saturday and clinched a playoff berth. The Rays are leading the AL East division, but also have the Wild Card wrapped up just in case. Navarro's RBI was part of a three-run fifth inning that put the icing on the victory. He's batting .292 with 50 RBI in 114 games this year. Alfonso Soriano drove in two runs with a single in the second inning to help the Cubs jump out to an early lead and clinch the NL Central with a 5-4 victory over the Cardinals on Saturday. Soriano's drive scored Jim Edmonds and Mark De Rosa. DeRosa then doubled in a run in the fourth and then scored on a fielder's choice as the Cubs picked up a 5-0 lead heading into the fifth. The Cards countered with a four-run attack in the sixth, but the Cubs' bullpen held things together late. Soriano is hitting .289 with 74 RBI in 103 games this season.

Each "up" bar is a victory and a "down" bar is a loss. There are horizontal lines for home games and red bars represent games decided by two runs or less. "PWins" is short for Projected Wins, based on each team’s Run Differential, and is often a better measure of a team’s true strength.
