Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Guardians shut out Red Sox to clinch postseason berth

The Cleveland Guardians secured a postseason berth for the third consecutive year by shutting out the Boston Red Sox 1-0 on Thursday night. Angel Martínez provided the game's sole run with a home run, while pitcher Joey Cantillo delivered five one-hit innings in relief to seal the victory.
