– The Miami Marlins clinched a playoff spot with a 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees Friday night at Yankee Stadium. Pinch runner Monte Harrison scored on a sacrifice fly by Jesus Aguilar in the 10th inning and the Miami Marlins clinched a playoff spot with a 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday night at Yankee Stadium. The Marlins had a magic number of one entering the 10th after the Philadelphia Phillies lost to the Tampa Bay Rays earlier in the day. Harrison was the automatic runner at second and moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Jon Berti off loser Chad Green (3-3). Starling Marte hit a ground ball to shortstop Gleyber Torres and Harrison then got caught in a rundown, but catcher Kyle Higashioka’s throw hit him in the back, allowing Harrison to get to third and Marte to second on the error. Harrison then scored on Aguilar’s fly ball to the warning track in right field. The Astros failed to clinch the American League postseason bid on their own, but they wrapped up the spot later in the evening thanks to the Los Angeles Angels’ 9-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
