It is the first time since 2001 that the Mariners have won a division crown and edges Raleigh closer to breaking Judge's AL record of 62 homers in a single season."
"It is the first time since 2001 that the Mariners have won a division crown and edges Raleigh closer to breaking Judge's AL record of 62 homers in a single season. The switch-hitting catcher said: "To do it [clinch the division] in this fashion, on this night, in front of these fans, mom and dad, obviously, was really cool. "It's 20-plus years since we've done something like this, and it's special. It's special to this group, to this organization, to the city.""
"The teams are now tied at the top of the standings with four games left but Toronto hold the tie-breaker. "If we just take care of what we do, we'll be where we want to be," Judge said. "Our goal to start the season ultimately is to go out there and win a World Series, get back there, but it starts by winning your division. That's our goal. We just got to keep it moving forward.""
