New York Yankees Clinch 13th Straight Playoff Birth with Win Over Tampa Bay

Atlanta, Ga. 9/27/2007 1:21:08 PM

The New York Yankees clinched their 13th straight playoff birth on Wednesday night after beating the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 12-4. Chien-Ming Wang earned improved to 19-7 on the year after pitching six strong innings, allowing seven hits and two runs while striking out six.

 

Derek Jeter finished 3-5 on the night with a home run and two RBIs while Robinson Cano went 2-5 with a homer and five driven in as the Yankees pounded out 18 hits and chased Devil Rays starter J.P.Howell in the fifth inning.

 

Clinging to a 2-1 lead heading into the fifth the Yankees scored seven runs to bury Tampa Bay and earn a ticket into post season. As is stands the Yankees’ streak of 13 straight playoff appearances trails only the Atlanta Braves who secured a playoff birth 14 years in a row.

 

New York still sits three games behind the Boston Red Sox in the American League East but are assured of the Wild Card at worst. They wrap up their series with the Devil Rays tomorrow before closing the regular season out in Baltimore.
