Champagne for Orioles in the Bronx as Baltimore beats Yankees 5-3

BRONX, NY (New York Yankees App) - The Champagne party was in full effect in the Bronx for the Orioles who clinched their second straight playoff berth, overcoming Aaron Judge's major league-leading 56th home run to beat the New York Yankees 5-3 on Tuesday night.

Baltimore's win combined with Minnesota's loss to Miami, assured the injury-depleted Orioles at least an American League wild card. The Yankees, who locked up a playoff berth last week, would win the AL East with one more win.

Big play in the game came in the bottom of the seventh when Gleyber Torres' two-out RBI double and Juan Soto's run-scoring single against Yennier Cano in the bottom half cut the deficit to 4-3, but when Soto continued to second on Santander's throw home from right field, Torres got caught in a rundown between third base and home plate and was tagged out-preventing Judge from batting with two on.
