The New York Yankees are heading back to the playoffs.
The Bronx Bombers overcame a late comeback by the Seattle Mariners and won Wednesday night’s game in extra innings. Nestor Cortes tossed six shutout innings as the Yankees won 2-1 despite Clay Holmes’ 13th blown save of the year.

The offense was quiet all night. Anthony Rizzo drove in both runs. His RBI single in the second inning put the Yankees up 1-0, and an RBI double in the tenth gave them the lead for good.
