Yankees Crash Out Of MLB Postseason After Being Swept By Rays In ALDS

The Tampa Bay Rays completed a series sweep of the New York Yankees with a 4-3 victory in Game 3 of the American League Division Series, ending the Yankees' 2024 postseason run. This marks the second straight year the Yankees have been eliminated at the divisional stage, a result compounded by the absence of Aaron Judge, who is currently on the injured list.

The Rays, who posted an AL-best 98-64 record during the regular season, held the Yankees to just five total runs across the three-game series. They will now advance to the American League Championship Series to face the winner of the matchup between the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Guardians, with the White Sox currently holding a 2-1 series lead.

This is the Rays' first ALCS appearance since 2020, the last time they defeated the Yankees in the ALDS.
