The New York Yankees clinched a playoff berth Monday night against the Minnesota Twins, though the clinching was technically official before the game ended. The Yankees won 8-3, per ESPN and Yahoo Sports.

Aaron Judge hit a three-run home run that capped a six-run eighth inning, ESPN reported. It was Judge's first homer since May 24, according to multiple outlets. Judge had been limited offensively since returning last week from an 84-game absence due to a fractured rib, going 3 for 20 with 11 strikeouts, per Yahoo Sports. Jose Caballero also homered and drove in two runs, per Sportsnet.

The clinching came after the Blue Jays lost to the Tigers, per Pinstripe Alley. It marks the Yankees' 61st postseason berth overall and their ninth in the last 10 seasons, per ESPN.
