Lynn held the Yankees to one run over 7 1/3 innings in a 6-1 victory on Sunday afternoon before a sellout crowd of 47,144 fans on hand to give the 26-year-old ballpark the proper sendoff. Lynn, pitching against the Yankees' 'A' lineup, allowed just two hits, walked one and struck out 10.”according to https://www.mlb.com/rangers/news/rangers-close-globe-life-park-with-win

Lynn's outing ended after striking out Didi Gregorius to start the eighth. Manager Chris Woodward went to the mound to take out Lynn and he exchanged embraces with catcher Jose Trevino and the Rangers infielders. Lynn then walked off the mound to a standing ovation and tipped his cap to the crowd as he returned to the dugout.”according to https://www.mlb.com/rangers/news/rangers-close-globe-life-park-with-win

New York will now turn their attention to the postseason as the American League Division Series gets underway on Friday as New York who is a member of the American League East will host Minnesota who is a member of the American League East Central.
