Orioles Defeat Yankees 5-3, Clinch Playoff Spot

The Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Yankees 5-3, securing their second consecutive playoff berth and at least an AL wild card spot. Despite Aaron Judge hitting his 56th home run, the Yankees could not overcome the Orioles' powerful offensive display, which featured solo homers from Anthony Santander, Ramon Urias, and Colton Cowser. Orioles starter Dean Kremer earned the win, allowing only one run through five innings, while Seranthony Dominguez secured the save. The Yankees, still in contention for the AL East title, need just one victory to clinch the division, while the Orioles must win all their remaining games to have a chance at the top spot. The matchup is crucial for both teams as they head towards the postseason, with the Yankees looking to solidify their position and the Orioles aiming to keep their playoff hopes alive. This series could set the stage for a potential October clash between the two teams.
