The New York Yankees are a playoff team.
Aaron Judge, the team’s best player and one who will end up with his share of MVP votes, had perhaps the biggest hit of the club’s season. The big men notched a walk-off, infield single off Andrew Kittredge to plate the only run of the game in the bottom of the ninth as the Yankees clinched a playoff spot in a 1-0 win over the Rays.
I have no idea how far the Yankees will advance this postseason. This is a team that’s won 13 games in a row, a team that went into a couple of pivotal series in Boston and Toronto in big series and won five of six.
