"Ben Rice's second home run of the day, a solo shot in the bottom of the eighth inning, lifted the New York Yankees to a vital 3-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on the last day of the season. But eight straight wins to end the year still weren't enough to win the division. Up in Toronto, the Blue Jays cracked the Tampa Bay Rays 13-4 to clinch their first American League East title since 2015."

The Orioles' runs came from back-to-back home runs in the top of the fourth inning by Jordan Westburg and Gunnar Henderson off Yankees starter Luis Gil."
