Orioles Clinch Playoff Spot Against Yankees

The Baltimore Orioles delayed the New York Yankees' division clinching with a 5-3 victory, ensuring their playoff spot after a loss by the Twins. The Yankees, who have a magic number of one, can still secure the AL East title with a win in their upcoming series against the Orioles. Aaron Judge continued to shine, hitting his 56th home run of the season, while the Yankees recently swept the Oakland Athletics with strong performances from Judge, Jasson Dominguez, and Gleyber Torres. The Yankees are now 12-3 in their last two West Coast trips and are six games ahead of the Orioles in the division standings. The Yankees' pitching, particularly Luis Gil, faced challenges but received ample run support, leading to a successful road trip. With just six games remaining in the season, the stakes are high for the Yankees as they aim to clinch the division title soon.
