"The Yankees accomplished the first to-do on their list with their comeback win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, clinching a postseason berth for the eighth time in nine years. But the defending American League champions aren't done making a late-regular-season push. Their win, coupled with the Toronto Blue Jays' loss, moved them to within one game of the AL East leaders with five games left to play."
"Our ultimate goal is to win the division, slugger Aaron Judge said while he and his teammates popped champagne in the Yankees' clubhouse upon their playoff clinch. It's still right there for us. So we're excited about getting in, but we got bigger things ahead of us. The Blue Jays have cooled down significantly after a six-game win streak just last week."
The Yankees clinched a postseason berth with a comeback win over the White Sox, marking their eighth trip in nine years. Aaron Judge and teammates celebrated in the clubhouse while Jose Caballero delivered a walk-off single to spark the celebration. New York's victory and a Blue Jays loss moved the Yankees to within one game of the AL East lead with five games remaining. The Blue Jays have lost five of six since holding a five-game advantage on Sept. 16. Winning the division would likely allow the Yankees to avoid a best-of-three Wild Card Series and could secure the AL's No. 1 seed.
