[FULL] Baseball Tonight | Tim Kurkjian reacts to Yanks clinch WC spot, Giants claim NL West crown
NEW YORK — The Yankees have officially punched their ticket into the postseason. Aaron Judge connected for a walk-off single, breaking a scoreless tie as the Yankees defeated the Rays, 1-0, in a nerve-wracking regular season finale on Sunday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.
New York’s next assignment will be to put its playoff hopes on the line in the American League Wild Card Game, to be played on Tuesday. The Yanks finished with 92 regular-season wins, securing their fifth consecutive playoff berth (since 2017) and their 23rd trip to the postseason in the past 27 years (since 1995).
The Yankees now look to the outcomes of the Red Sox-Nationals, Orioles-Blue Jays and Angels-Mariners games to see if they will need to await their potential opponents playing extra games as part of a tiebreaker scenario or if — in the case of a Boston win — they will simply be playing the Red Sox in Boston on Tuesday in a straightforward Wild Card Game matchup.
