Wild Card Game Goes the Distance, Tampa Bay Prevails
The fans in Tampa Bay are delirious, while there is little joy to be found in Minnesota.

The Tampa Bay Rays finished off the Minnesota Twins 8-1 in the deciding game of the Wild Card Game played at Target Field.

They took the series 2-1 and will now head to the Division Series.

For his standout play, Tampa Bay shortstop Bob Reinhard was voted the series' Most Valuable Player.

He batted .500, drove in 1 runs and scored 2 to lead his club to victory.

"We could never really figure out how to pitch to Reinhard and that doomed us," said Twins manager Joshua Hester. "Hats off to Tampa Bay, though. That was a great series."

The Tampa Bay Rays will play against the Oakland Athletics in the next round. Oakland had a bye in the Wild Card Game. The Division Series schedule will be announced after the Wild Card Game finishes.
