Yankees out of playoffs after falling to Rays 4-3 in Game 3 of ALDS

  • On Wednesday, the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the New York Yankees 4-3, completing a three-game sweep of their American League Division Series.
  • New York opened the season with a $303 million payroll, the third-highest in MLB, while Tampa Bay ranked 26th at $91 million; captain Aaron Judge missed the postseason due to a calf injury.
  • Victor Mesa Jr. hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer off Max Fried in the sixth inning, while a video review overturned Anthony Volpe's potential game-tying home run after a fan interference call.
  • The sweep extended New York's championship drought to 17 years, and some fans chanted "Fire Boone!" at manager Aaron Boone as they exited the stadium.
  • Tampa Bay reached the American League Championship Series for the first time since 2020 and will host the Chicago White Sox or Cleveland Guardians on Monday.
