The Yankees secured a thrilling extra-innings win over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday night, officially clinching a playoff spot. With a five-game cushion over the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East, the Yankees are well-positioned as they push to secure the division title and bypass the Wild Card round. Only the Milwaukee Brewers have also locked in a postseason spot so far, but the Yankees still have work to do to maintain their lead and secure their division.
Orioles’ Struggles vs. Yankees’ Momentum
While the Orioles are faltering, having lost three straight games and six of their last eight, the Yankees are surging, winning 7 of their last 10 and extending their streak to three straight victories. Their latest 2-1 win over Seattle came in dramatic fashion and could have easily gone the other way if not for some key defensive plays.
Defensive Highlights Seal the Win
One of the pivotal moments of the game came in extra innings, when Randy Arozarena’s bat flew towards third base, distracting Julio Rodriguez as he ran the bases. Catcher Austin Wells capitalized on the situation by throwing the ball down the line, allowing Jazz Chisholm to tag out Rodriguez. This heads-up defensive play proved crucial in maintaining the Yankees’ slim lead.
