• The Red Sox sold out 96-year-old Fenway Park for the 455th consecutive regular-season game on Wednesday, tying the Indians' major-league record. "I have not seen anything but sellouts since I've been here," Boston manager Terry Francona said before the game against Baltimore. "Think about it: That's unbelievable. That's the norm. I hope we don't ever get in a situation where we take it for granted." Francona's first season as Red Sox manager was 2004.

• Frank Thomas' season ended Wednesday when the Athletics transferred the designated hitter from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day. He has been on the DL twice this year because of an injured right thigh, most recently going back on Saturday. He also sat out from May 28 to July 31 because of tendinitis in his quadriceps. Thomas, 40, ended his season hitting .240 with eight home runs and 30 RBIs in 71 games. In 19 seasons in the majors, Thomas has a .301 average with 521 home runs and 1,704 RBIs in 2,322 games.

• White Sox third baseman Joe Crede was out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Cleveland because of a tight back, joining left fielder Carlos Quentin and center fielder Ken Griffey Jr. on the sideline.

• Yankees general manager Brian Cashman remains "focused" on his team and is not currently thinking about a contract extension. His current deals ends this year. "There's a time and place," Cashman said. "I think every day here is on the same page. Let's take care of business and get this right, which we haven't done a good enough job of doing so far this year." Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner has said he wants Cashman to stay with the team.
