NEW YORK -- The Baltimore Orioles clinched their second straight playoff berth, overcoming Aaron Judge's major-league-leading 56th home run to beat the New York Yankees 5-3 on Tuesday night.

The Orioles' win combined with the Minnesota Twins' loss to the Miami Marlins nine minutes later assured Baltimore at least an American League wild card.

Anthony Santander hit his 44th home run, and Ramon Urias and Colton Cowser also went deep for Baltimore (87-80), which closed within five games of the AL East-leading Yankees (92-65) with five games left.
