Yankees head to postseason for 8th time in 9 seasons with AL East race still up for grabs

The New York Yankees are headed to the playoffs for the eighth time in nine seasons. New York secured its spot in the postseason with a 3-2, come-from-behind win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night on José Caballero’s RBI single with two out in the ninth inning that scored team captain Aaron Judge with the winning run. While the win clinched at least an AL wild card, the Yankees (89-68) closed within a game of East Division-leading Toronto (90-67) after the Blue Jays lost 4-1 to Boston.
