The Orioles beat the Red Sox, 2-0, to clinch the American League East for the first time since 2014. They have won 100 games for the first time since 1980. They will play at Camden Yards for at least the next 30 years. What a night.

Cedric Mullins on where this catch ranks for him: “I'd say the moment for sure ranks in top three. It might be No. 1. I'd have to go back through the archive.” He didn’t know he caught it until he saw the ball in his glove while lying on the track.

The Orioles are 27-20 since promoting Adley Rutschman, including 19-9 since June 11. They are 43-44 overall. A Mariners win this afternoon would leave them two games out of the final wild card spot.

From the team: The only Orioles younger than Gunnar Henderson to double twice in a home game were Manny Machado and Brooks Robinson.

This year with the Cardinals, Jack Flaherty threw eight pitches of 96.0 mph or harder. He's had seven such pitches today in his first six innings with the Orioles, including touching 97.0 for the first time this year.
