News summary

The New York Yankees clinched the American League East title with a commanding 10-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles, propelled by Aaron Judge's major league-leading 58th home run and Giancarlo Stanton's four RBIs. This win marks the Yankees' second division title in three years, securing them a first-round playoff bye and home-field advantage for the AL Division Series starting October 5. Gerrit Cole delivered an impressive performance, pitching 6 2/3 scoreless innings while striking out five. Judge's homer also ties him with Stanton for the most times homering in the same game for the Yankees this season, a feat last achieved by the legendary duo Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris in 1961. The Orioles, who also clinched a postseason berth, will compete in a wild card series next week. The Yankees, now 93-66, maintain a narrow lead over the Cleveland Guardians for the best record in the AL.
