Orioles beat Rays 5-4 in 11-inning thriller after O’s clinch postseason spot

With the division title still in doubt, it wasn't clear if the Baltimore Orioles would stage a big celebration when they merely clinched a postseason berth.

After a win like this, how could they not?

Cedric Mullins hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 11th inning, and the Orioles edged the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4 on Sunday after both teams clinched spots in the playoffs. Cleveland's win over Texas meant Baltimore and Tampa Bay were both in — but Orioles fans ended up with more to cheer about than just that.
