Yankees reach October By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com
Under .500 as recently as July 7, the Yankees clinched their 13th straight playoff appearance with Wednesday's win, which was all but decided after a seven-run fifth inning that included a three-run homer by Robinson Cano. Chien-Ming Wang tied a career high with his 19th win of the season.

J.P. Howell returned from a two-month absence last week with a quality start, but he looked like a different pitcher on Wednesday, chased in the Yankees' seven-run fifth inning to take his fifth loss in as many starts. Carlos Pena hit his 43rd homer of the season and increased his RBI total to 118, and Jonny Gomes added his 17th homer.
