    Rays manager Joe Maddon heard a few cheers coming from the clubhouse and reached for the computer mouse. He knew what had just happened. He wanted to know how.

    "Niiiice," Maddon said after learning the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Los Angeles Angels in the 12th inning.

    Indeed, it was a nice night for Tampa Bay.

    Matt Moore struck out 11 in five innings of his first major league start and the Rays unloaded on the watered-down Yankees for a 15-8 victory Thursday, a night after New York clinched the AL East title.
