The 2019 New York Yankees season was the 117th season in New York City for the Yankees, and the 119th season overall for the franchise. The Yankees play in Yankee Stadium in the city's northern borough of The Bronx, and are led by Aaron Boone on his second season as team manager. After a 9–1 victory over the Angels at home on September 19, the Yankees clinched the American League East for the first time since the 2012 season. They opened the playoffs by defeating and sweeping the Minnesota Twins in the Division Series, but were eliminated in the American League Championship Series by the Houston Astros in six games. This marked the first calendar decade since the 1910s that the team failed to make a single World Series appearance. In addition, with the Mets losing in the 2015 World Series, the 2010s decade was the first calendar decade since the 1910s that a New York City team failed to win a World Series.
The Yankees set a new MLB record by homering in 139 of their regular season games, surpassing the previous best held jointly by the 2012 and 2018 Yankees.[2] Despite the Yankees competing with the Astros and Dodgers for the best record in baseball the majority of the season, they went 1–4 in their final 5 games, and finished 4 and 3 games behind both teams, respectively.
