AROUND THE HORN

■ Yankees: Gleyber Torres and Giancarlo Stanton connected as the Yankees broke the major league record for HRs in a season and reached 100 wins with an 8-5 victory over the Red Sox on Saturday in Boston. Torres’ two-run drive in the fourth was the Yankees’ 265th of the year and moved them past the 1997 Mariners for the mark. The Yankees, who will host A’s in the AL wild-card game Wednesday, improved to 100-61 . ... Major League Baseball suspended LHP CC Sabathia for five games Saturday for hitting Rays catcher Jesus Sucre in the leg Thursday, a penalty that won’t take effect until next season. Sabathia appealed the ban. ■ Brewers: The Brewers moved into a tie for first place in the NL Central with one game remaining, getting two homers from MVP candidate Christian Yelich to beat the visiting Tigers 6-5 and draw even with the Cubs. The Brewers were already assured of making their first playoff appearance since 2011, the last time they won the NL Central. They would like to add a division title this year, and the Cubs opened the door by losing 2-1 to the Cardinals.

■ Astros: RHP Justin Verlander struck out 10, Carlos Correa homered and hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the ninth, and the Astros beat the host Orioles 4-3 in the opener of a doubleheader. Verlander allowed three hits and walked one in six innings. He finished 16-9 with an AL-leading and career-high 290 strikeouts and only 37 walks in 214 innings. ■ Mets: David Wright started at third base against the Marlins in his farewell game before a sellout crowd at Citi Field in New York. The longtime Mets captain finally made it back into a major-league game Friday, grounding out in his first plate appearance in nearly 21⁄2 years. Unable to overcome injuries, the 35-year-old Wright said he expects this weekend to mark his final appearance in the big leagues. After two at-bats Saturday, he left the game to a long standing ovation.
