The Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays clinched postseason berths Sunday during the ninth inning of their game when the Texas Rangers lost at the Cleveland Guardians.
Texas' 9-2 loss ensured Baltimore and Tampa Bay would each gain at least a wild card in the American League.
The Orioles edged the Rays 5-4 in an 11-inning thriller in Baltimore, touching off an on-field celebration in which the O's players wore orange shirts that read, "TAKE OCTOBER."
The Orioles eventually made it into their clubhouse, where they held a bubbly party with plastic protecting their lockers from getting soaked.
