The Orioles have clinched their first playoff berth since 1997.

Baltimore defeated Boston 6-3 on Sunday and later clinched the berth when Texas defeated Los Angeles in the second game of a double-header.

The Orioles are tied with the Yankees, who also clinched at least a Wild Card berth, for first place in the American League East. Baltimore will close the season with three games against Tampa Bay.

At 92-67, Baltimore already has 23 more wins than they did in 2011.
