Yankees clinch the AL East title for the first time since 2019

The Yankees clinched their first division title since 2019 with a 5-2 victory over the Blue Jays on Wednesday night. After Lou Trivino got Matt Chapman to ground out to Gleyber Torres, the team got the party (so generously hosted by Vlad Guerrero Jr.) started. Clinching the division gives the Yankees a bye to the ALDS, where they will have home-field advantage in the series starting on Tuesday, October 11.

After the series finale, Yankees have seven games remaining: three at home against the Orioles and four on the road against Rangers. They need to win five of their last eight games to hit the century mark.
