The American League East is up for grabs, and the Yankees are primed to clinch this week — potentially as soon as Tuesday night.
With New York’s 7-4 win against the A’s on Sunday, the Yankees’ magic number is down to one.
Now, the Bronx Bombers turn their attention to the Orioles, who are 3-7 in their last 10 games.
Even with its recent skid, Baltimore is likely to make the postseason, and could be a playoff opponent of the Yankees.
Aaron Judge has found his power stroke again, crushing his MLB-leading 55th homer of the season on Sunday.
Will the Yankees clinch the AL East on Tuesday, or will Baltimore spoil the party?
Follow The Post’s live updates for the Yankees’ clash with the Orioles.
Gleyber Torres made a baffling decision on the basepaths in the Yankees’ 5-3 loss to the Orioles at the Stadium on Tuesday night. With the Yankees down two with two outs in the seventh, Juan Soto drove in one run with a hit to right field to cut the Orioles’ lead to 4-3, advancing Torres to third. But when Soto then scampered to second as the throw came home, Torres then bounded halfway toward the plate before getting tagged out in a misguided rundown.Aaron Judge: Gleyber Torres’ costly Yankees baserunning gaffe ‘can’t happen’

Yankees miss chance to clinch AL East as baserunning blunder ends rally in loss to Orioles
By Greg Joyce
The Yankees clubhouse remained bone dry on Tuesday night, the tubs of champagne and beer kept in storage for at least one more day.
With a chance to deliver a knockout punch to the Orioles in person and capture the American League East, the Yankees wasted a few opportunities to strike and instead fell 5-3 in The Bronx.
The Yankees’ magic number to clinch the division remained at one — leading the Orioles by five games with five to play — while their magic number to secure the AL’s best record (for home-field advantage through the ALCS) stayed at three.
