NEW YORK —

AL East champion Toronto took the division series 3-1, and it will host Game 1 in the best-of-seven ALCS on Sunday against the Detroit Tigers or the Seattle Mariners.

Those two teams are set to decide their playoff series Friday in Game 5 at Seattle.

Ryan McMahon homered for the wild-card Yankees, unable to stave off elimination for a fourth time this postseason as they failed to repeat as AL champions.

Despite a terrific playoff performance from Yankees star Aaron Judge following his previous October troubles, the 33-year-old slugger remains without a World Series ring. New York is still chasing its 28th title and first since 2009.
