Safeco Field, long known as one of the toughest hitting parks in the Major Leagues, will get a facelift in the coming months, as the Mariners announced Tuesday they will be moving in portions of the outfield wall for the 2013 season.

The most successful, unique and perplexing season of R.A. Dickey’s career came with one final twist. He revealed after Tuesday’s 4-3, 11-inning loss to the Marlins that he has been pitching since April with a torn right abdominal muscle, which flared up Tuesday and will require surgery.

Seven years after one pitch changed his life, Adam Greenberg was given a second chance. Greenberg, who signed a one-day contract with the Marlins on Tuesday, is expected to pinch-hit, likely for a pitcher in the middle innings against the Mets, possibly against knuckleballer R.A. Dickey.

Like any other day, Ozzie Guillen is prepared to come to the ballpark on Wednesday to manage the Marlins in their season finale. Will it be Guillen’s last game managing Miami? The club has yet to announce its intentions for 2013.

The Marlins showed resilience and pulled out a 4-3 victory over the Mets on Tuesday night on Donovan Solano’s walk-off single in the 11th inning in front of 29,709 at Marlins Park. Jacob Turner pitched well, but the ‘pen couldn’t a late lead.

Staring into the possibility of a deadlocked American League East, Raul Ibanez kept destiny in his team’s hands with a pinch-hit two-run homer and added the game-winning hit three innings later as the Yankees defeated the Red Sox, 4-3, in 12 innings on Tuesday.

Pinch-hitter Travis Hafner hit game-tying, two-run homer in the ninth and Jason Donald knocked in the game-winner with a two-out single in the 12th as the Indians rallied for a 4-3 victory over the White Sox on Tuesday night in Cleveland.

MLB on Tuesday announced an eight-year national media rights agreements with FOX and TBS, and combined with the recently announced ESPN deal, the three contracts will deliver a combined $12.4 million — more than a 100-percent increase in annual rights fees to MLB over the current arrangements.

Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder are on pace to be the third duo of corner infielders since 1934 to qualify for the batting title and finish with an OPS of .900 or higher.

In a year with more opportunity than ever, the Angels, and their $155 million payroll, won’t make the playoffs.

Angels starter C.J. Wilson revealed that he had been pitching with bone spurs in his left pitching elbow for “the last couple of months” and was set to undergo offseason arthroscopic surgery.

The Rays never quit, tirelessly fighting to stay in the hunt and putting on display the kind of heart that wins championships. In the end that wasn’t enough, but again, what heart this gritty bunch showed — particularly down the backstretch. The end came Monday night, when the Rays were eliminated from postseason contention.

Even while sporting champagne-protective goggles, the A’s were adamant about one thing after securing a playoff berth on Monday. “We’ve still got a lot of work to do,” outfielder Josh Reddick said.

The Dodgers are known for their star power. But it takes a small village of ballplayers to keep a season alive. On Monday night at Dodger Stadium, little known but much appreciated Elian Herrera was the man with the walk-off magic.

If the Nats end up with the best record in baseball, they could start on Sunday against the Wild Card team — either the Braves or Cardinals. If they have the second-best record, behind the Reds, they’ll start on Saturday, against the Giants.

Mike Trout had four hits while continuing to present his case for the AL MVP award, C.J. Wilson notched a quality start and the Angels beat the Mariners on Monday night, 8-4. But it hardly mattered.

At precisely the right moment — in fact with not a moment to spare — the St. Louis Cardinals began playing the kind of baseball that would get them a spot in the postseason.
