Overview

  • Aaron Judge hit his 53rd home run and drove in three runs in a 6-1 win over the Orioles at Yankee Stadium.
  • New York improved to 93-68 with a season-high-tying seventh consecutive victory to remain at least tied atop the AL East.
  • Because Toronto holds the tiebreaker, the Yankees must finish the regular season one game ahead to win the division and claim the ALDS bye.
  • Rookie Cam Schlittler strengthened his postseason rotation case with seven scoreless innings, nine strikeouts and two hits allowed.
  • Giancarlo Stanton and Ryan McMahon added solo homers, Aaron Boone was ejected for the seventh time this season, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited after a hit-by-pitch with X-rays negative and a CT scan planned.
