Baltimore Orioles Clinch Playoff Berth, Yankees' Hopes Dashed by Baserunning Blunder
In a thrilling matchup, the Baltimore Orioles secured their spot in the 2024 postseason by defeating the New York Yankees 5-3, marking the second consecutive year they have clinched a playoff berth. The victory was bittersweet for the Yankees, as Gleyber Torres' baserunning mistake cut short their rally, leaving them unable to celebrate a potential clinch of the AL East. Jackson Holliday, celebrating alongside his wife, marked the occasion with a humorous non-alcoholic toast, while the Yankees remain frustrated after their path to the postseason was complicated by this loss. The Orioles' triumph was a testament to their resilience, overcoming Aaron Judge's impressive 56th home run in the process.
