The New York Yankees secured their place in the 2024 MLB playoffs after a thrilling 2-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners in 10 innings. Despite a blown save from Clay Holmes, the Yankees' pitching, led by Nestor Cortes, proved effective, while Anthony Rizzo drove in two crucial runs. The game took a dramatic turn when Mariners' Julio Rodríguez was picked off at third base, a blunder that ultimately sealed Seattle's fate and clinched the postseason berth for the Yankees, who are looking to clinch the AL East crown as they return to the playoffs.
