The Yankees pulled off a dramatic walk-off win against the White Sox, clinching a postseason berth and gaining ground in the division thanks to a Blue Jays loss. Down one in the ninth, Anthony Volpe led off with a single, followed by a Wells hit to put runners on. After a Trent Grisham double play, Volpe stood on third as the tying run. The White Sox intentionally walked Aaron Judge, setting the stage. A wild pitch on ball four let Volpe score, tying the game. The crowd got loud with dancing, hats waving, and wild energy as Jose Caballero battled through a long at-bat, fouling off several two-strike pitches.
Finally, Caballero dropped a shallow hit into center. Michael A. Taylor looked ready to throw rather than dive, but misfired the throw badly. Judge, already on the move, scored the winning run. The bench exploded. Dominguez and Rosario raced to be first on the field, keeping their friendly clubhouse rivalry alive. Caballero never doubted the hit would end the game. He celebrated immediately and got soaked. The fans in the stands played their part too, bringing all the quirky energy as the Yankees came from behind to take it.
