The New York Yankees defeated the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 in 11 innings on a walk off double by Aaron Hicks to clinch the team's 3rd AL Wild Card berth in four seasons.
The Yankees will most likely play the Oakland A's in the AL Wild Card game. If things remain as they are the game would be played in the Bronx. Should the Yankees prevail then they would most likely play the Boston Red Sox in the ALDS.
Despite inconsistent staring pitching and injuries to Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez and Didi Gregorius plus a disappointing first season in pinstripes from Giancarlo Stanton, the Yankees persevered with the emergence of youngsters Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres, the acquisition of Luke Voit from the St. Louis Cardinals plus a deep bullpen during Aaron Boone's inaugural season as manager.
The Yankees have been very good this season, but being 10 games back of the Red Sox in the AL East they have much to prove in October.
