The New York Yankees clinched a playoff berth with a 2-1, 10-inning win in Seattle on Wednesday night.
Anthony Rizzo drove in all of the Yankees' runs in their playoff-clinching win in Seattle on Wednesday night, including the tie-breaker in their 2-1, 10-inning victory.Before Wednesday night’s game, Rizzo switched some things up and, presto, his slump was over ... at least for a night.“I felt like made some good adjustments in the cage and I felt like I was in a good slot, so it’s just keeping that,” said Rizzo, who is batting .219 for the season with eight homers, 33 RBI and a .
“I think as it’s shown the last couple years in the playoffs, it’s what team gets hot. And I feel like we’ve been boiling some water and getting hot and feeling really good about what we have going.”“It’s easy for me to say yes, but this is step one,” he said. “As you pop champagne, hopefully there’ll be another one before the season ends and then three more throughout the postseason. So you get closer and closer as a group, and you come together. This is everything that you want.
There’s been more misery this season, 62 missed games with a forearm fracture, but Rizzo contributed early when the Yankees got off to a great start and he helped them get to the playoff finish line Wednesday after a slow start upon returning from the IL on Sept. 1. The Yankees went into Thursday with six wins in their last seven games, an AL-best 89-63 record and a five-game lead in the AL East over the Orioles with 10 games to play.“We’re healthy, we have we have our starters rolling, which is always the biggest thing for us, and our bullpen looks really good,” Rizzo said. “The formula is there, for sure.”
