The New York Yankees clinched a playoff berth with a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners in 10 innings. Anthony Rizzo played a crucial role, driving in both of New York's runs, including an RBI double in the 10th inning. The game featured a bizarre play where Mariners' Julio Rodríguez was picked off third base after dodging a flying bat. Yankees' Nestor Cortes pitched six scoreless innings, while Mariners' Bryce Miller also delivered a strong performance. Despite Justin Turner's game-tying homer in the eighth, the Mariners' offensive struggles continued, going 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position and leaving 10 men on base. The Yankees' win was aided by a strong defensive play and effective pitching from Ian Hamilton, who secured his first save of the season.
