Tigers Clinch, Guardians In, Astros Out as MLB Playoff Races Reach Final Day

Sunday's results will settle the AL East race, with Toronto holding the tiebreaker over New York.

Overview

  • Detroit secured at least a wild-card berth with a 2-1 win at Fenway Park and can still take the AL Central with a win plus a Cleveland loss.
  • Cleveland clinched a postseason spot on a ninth-inning hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded, a result that also eliminated Houston and ended the Astros’ eight-year playoff streak.
  • The Yankees and Blue Jays entered the final scheduled game tied at 93-68, with Toronto owning the season-series tiebreaker over New York.
  • Cincinnati will claim the NL’s final wild card with a win over Milwaukee or a Mets loss; New York advances only with a win over Miami and a Brewers victory.
  • Seattle’s Cal Raleigh reached 60 home runs and has a brief chance to approach Aaron Judge’s AL single-season mark of 62 before the regular season closes.
