Yankees top Angels, clinch playoff spot
No champagne. No plastic sheets on the lockers. Just a few handshakes and hugs on the field. Although the Yankees secured their return to the playoffs Tuesday night after a year away that sometimes felt like an eternity, they haven't forgotten which clinchers really matter. Brett Gardner scored the tiebreaking run on Alex Rodriguez's sacrifice fly in the ninth, and the Yankees got ready for their 14th playoff appearance in 15 seasons Tuesday night with a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
