NEW YORK — The New York Yankees were on track to finish one win shy of repeating as AL East champion and lose to Toronto on a tiebreaker despite beating the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 Sunday behind a pair of Ben Rice home runs for a season-ending eight-game winning streak.

Toronto led Tampa Bay 13-4 in the eighth inning when the Yankees’ game ended. With a victory, the Blue Jays and Yankees would both finish 94-68 and Toronto would win the AL East on a tiebreaker because of its 8-5 advantage in the season series.

New York was on track to host Boston in a best-of-three Wild Card Series starting Tuesday, with the winner advancing to a Division Series next weekend.

Aaron Judge went 1 for 4 and won his first batting title, leading the major leagues at .331.. He had 53 homers and 114 RBIs.
