The New York Yankees missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016, getting mathematically eliminated with a rainy 7-1 loss Sunday to the Arizona Diamondbacks as Zac Gallen got his 17th win.
Arizona won for the sixth time in seven games and remained in position for the NL's second wild card, a half-game ahead of the Chicago Cubs. The Diamondbacks also clinched their first winning season since 2019.
New York would have 85 wins if the Yankees finish 7-0. Baltimore and Tampa Bay will split the AL East and the top wild card, and Toronto is in position for the second wild card. Texas could win the West or get a wild card card in a race that includes Seattle or Houston . Because the Astros and Mariners play three times in the final week, one must finish with more wins than the Yankees.
Tommy Pham and Christian Walker produced sacrifice flies on consecutive pitches in the first inning off Carlos Rodón and that was enough for Gallen, who is second in wins, one behind Atlanta’s Spencer Strider.
