Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge, and Alex Verdugo hit home runs tonight

Giancarlo Stanton was the first to open the score as he put the Yanks on the board with a solo home run.

The captain went deep for his team again as he sent Soto home with a towering two-run home run. Judge smashed his 58th home run and has now homered in five straight games. The Yanks had a 9-0 lead in the top of the eighth inning.

Alex Verdugo joined Stanton and Judge with a solo home run at the bottom of the eighth inning. Verdugo gave the Yankees a 10-0 lead. The Yanks had a spectacular victory in the Bronx as they clinched the AL East Division with a 93-66 record.

The Orioles managed to score one run in the bottom of the ninth inning. The Yanks also have a strong chance of securing the best record in the American League if they win all games against the Pittsburgh Pirates in their last series. Aaron Boone and his squad will now focus on the playoffs.
