The Yankees are heading back to the postseason. New York clinched an American League Wild Card spot on Saturday night after beating the Orioles 3-2 on Aaron Hicks's walk-off double in the 11th inning.
Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius hustled all the way around from first base to score the game-winning run. As Hicks's double dribbled along the wall and into the corner in leftfield, Gregorius rounded for home. He dove headfirst into home, beating out a throw from outfielder D.J. Stewart.
New York clinched its third playoff berth since 2015. Saturday's victory, in tandem with the Rays' loss to the Blue Jays, assured the Yankees will reach the playoffs for the 54th time, which is the most in MLB history.
