Yankees Clinch, Now Tied With Blue Jays

The New York Yankees clinched a postseason berth with a dramatic 3-2 walk-off single by Jose Caballero against the Chicago White Sox, marking their eighth trip to the playoffs in nine seasons. New York is now tied with the Toronto Blue Jays atop the AL East, but Toronto holds the season head-to-head tiebreaker, so the Yankees must outplay Toronto in the final games to win the division. The Yankees hold the top AL wild-card spot and would host a best-of-three wild-card series if they finish as the No. 1 wild card. Boston, which has gone 50-36 since trading Rafael Devers to the Giants, can clinch a postseason berth Friday at Fenway with Kyle Harrison — who has allowed one run in nine innings since his Sept. 10 promotion — slated to start. Aaron Judge’s late surge (50th and 51st homers) has been a key driver of New York’s late push.
