Rays clinch AL East title after dominant win over Yankees

The Tampa Bay Rays clinched the American League East title by beating the New York Yankees, 6-1, in the Bronx on Tuesday, Sept. 22. The win also clinches the top record in the AL for the Rays and the first-round bye that goes with it.

The division win means the Rays can sit back and rest while division rivals Boston and the Yankees likely battle it out before having to face one of them.
