On the other hand, this was his 16th victory so far in 2022 where he left a rival on the field, thus becoming the sixth organization to reach this figure in the entire history of this sport; something that demonstrates the level of reaction capacity of New Yorkers.
Advancing to the postseason supposes a bit of tranquility for Aaron Boone and his boys, since in the second half they had experienced bad moments that many thought were going downhill in terms of their fight for the pennant and their pass to the next round. .
Finally, as it is the second best record in the American League, the New Yorkers are securing their presence in the Championship Series directly, as are the Houston Astros.
