The Yankees took care of business on Friday night with an 8-4 victory over the Orioles before 44,596 at Yankee Stadium. Giancarlo Stanton hit two two-run homers and drove in five runs and Aaron Judge blasted home run No. 52 as the Yankees won their sixth in a row.
But the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays also took care of business with a 4-2 victory over Tampa Bay.
So the Yankees did not get any closer to winning the division with two games to go in the regular season.
The Yankees and Blue Jays both are 92-68, but Toronto won the season series with the Yankees and thus owns the tiebreaker.
Ties in baseball are said to go to the runner. In this case, the tie will go to Toronto if the Blue Jays and Yankees finish with the same record.
Going into Saturday, all the Yankees know for sure
