The Yankees (94-68) ended the season with a season-high eight-game winning streak, matching their win total from last season and winning for the 11th time in 12 games. Toronto beat the Tampa Bay Rays at home, 13-4, to claim the division title and earn a bye until the Division Series round. That leaves the Yankees to host Game 1 of a best-of-three wild-card series vs. the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night. Aaron Judge hit a leadoff single in the fifth, scored on Stanton’s hit and finished with a MLB-best .331 average. Jordan Westburg and Gunnar Henderson hit back-to-back homers in the fourth as the Orioles (75-87) finished with their first losing season since 2021.
