New York erased a 2-1 deficit in the ninth, rallying on singles from Volpe and Wells, a pair of walks, and a wild pitch before José Caballero delivered a nine-pitch at-bat-ending single that scored Aaron Judge for a 3-2 walk-off win over Chicago. The rally kept the Yankees within a game of Toronto and secured their 60th postseason berth in franchise history, underscoring their late-season resilience and playoff consistency.

Judge’s two intentional walks highlighted the late drama, while Colson Montgomery’s earlier two-run homer for Chicago briefly flipped the game. Luis Gil matched six innings of one- and two-run work for New York, as the club improved to 89-68 and continued its chase of the AL East leader, with Max Fried lined up to start next for the Yankees.
