The Yankees Made It To The Playoffs For The Sixth Straight Year... Chang Reached Base Twice For The Red Sox

The Yankees beat the arch-rival Red Sox 5-4 in an extended game on Tuesday to clinch a spot in this year's playoffs. In front of 43,123 fans, the Yankees made it to the postseason for the sixth straight year, the 24th time in 28 years and the fifth major-League team to advance this season, joining the Dodgers, Astros, Mets and Braves.

The Yankees won their 91st game of the season on Giancarlo Stanton's two-run shot and Josh Donaldson's by-bye hit in 10 innings.

This is the sixth straight year the Yankees have been assured of making the playoffs, but the last time they won the World Series was in 2009, and they haven't even played in the World Series since then. At most, they lost in the AL Championship Series.

The Yankees are 91-58, 7.5 games ahead of the second-place Blue Jays in the American League East, and it will be interesting to see when Aaron Judge hits his 61st hit of the season as they continue their march toward the division crown two years apart.

After Judge hit his 60th pitch of the season, which sparked a frenzy for record nights, outfield tickets on SeatGeek became a hot seller, with the average price of outfield seats for the Yankee-Red Sox series jumping from $72 to $197 in two days.

The hot spot for home runs was even more inflated, with two seats in the first row of Section 104 in right field bidding $1,132. A front-row seat in Section 103 on Vivid Seats' website costs more than $500 a ticket.

In THE ninth inning, Judge hit an impressive fly ball to center FIELD THAT TRAVELED 404 feet, BUT WAS caught in front OF THE wall AND MISSED his farewell home RUN. After THE GAME WENT INTO THE EXTENSION, THE YANKEES GOT THE WIN ON DONALDSON'S BYE-BYE SINGLE IN 10 INNINGS.

Taiwan OUTFIELDER CHANG YU-CHENG, RELEASED BY THE RAYS BEFORE HIS LAST OUTING AGAINST THE YANKEES, MADE TWO STARTS AT Yankee STADIUM IN A RED SOX JERSEY, INCLUDING A LONG SINGLE AT SECOND BASE.

Jang, batting eighth at second, doubled in the first batter of the third inning, but failed to bring him back for a run. Triston Casas and Reese McGuire scored three runs in the seventh to make the Red Sox 4-3. Chang drew a walk and scored on McGwire's leadoff Homer.
