Print Edition
THE New York Yankees clinched an American League wildcard spot on Thursday night, ending a two-year absence from the postseason by beating the Boston Red Sox 4-1.
Carlos Beltran and rookies Greg Bird and Rob Refsnyder all homered for the Yankees in the club’s 10,000th regular-season win. The Yankees open the playoffs with a winner-take-all game on Tuesday. Houston leads the race for the second AL wildcard spot. The Texas Rangers also clinched a wildcard spot and moved to the cusp of the AL West title, after a 5-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels. The Rangers (87-72), in the playoffs for the first time since 2012 after a 95-loss season, are a win or a Houston loss away from their first division title since winning two straight and going to the World Series in 2010-11. The Angels are a game behind the Astros and tied with Minnesota for the second wildcard slot.
