Sep 25, 2024, 02:30 AM

The Baltimore Orioles have secured a spot in the postseason for the second consecutive year, marking the first time since the 1990s that they have achieved back-to-back playoff berths. The Orioles clinched at least a wild card berth with a 5-3 victory over the New York Yankees, aided by Dean Kremer's strong pitching performance and overcoming Aaron Judge's major league-leading 56th home run. The clinch was confirmed following the Minnesota Twins' loss to the Miami Marlins. This victory prevents the Yankees from clinching the AL East title for now. The Orioles are still in contention for the division crown, competing closely with the Yankees.
