The Baltimore Orioles clinched the American League (AL) East division championship with a 2-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night.
Now the Orioles – two years after losing 110 games – will enter the postseason as the top seed in the AL.
The Orioles reached 100 wins for the sixth time in team history and the first since 1980, and they prevailed in a brutally tough division that relegated the Red Sox and New York Yankees to afterthoughts.

"It was the AL Beast again this year, and we knew it," outfielder Austin Hays said. "We had to battle... but here we are. We did it."
Before the team wrapped up the victory, there was already quite a bit of excitement at Camden Yards.

The team announced on the scoreboard after the third inning that it had reached an agreement with the state of Maryland, keeping the Orioles in Baltimore for at least the next 30 years. The team's lease at Camden Yards was set to expire at the end of 2023.
