Yesterday, Toronto achieved what it hadn’t done in nearly a decade. With a decisive 5–2 victory over the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, the Blue Jays clinched the divisional series and advanced to their first American League Championship Series since 2016.
Dominican star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. once again led the offense, driving in a key run and showing his trademark intensity at the plate, while George Springer contributed with timely hits to secure the long-awaited triumph. Nathan Lukes delivered a decisive single in the seventh inning, capitalizing on an error by Jazz Chisholm Jr. that turned the game in Toronto’s favor.
True to their philosophy of deep rotations and consistent contact hitting, the Blue Jays dominated even after falling behind 1–0 early in the game. The bullpen held firm, limiting the Yankees’ late rallies and sealing Toronto’s ticket to the next round.
¿Does this advancement mean Toronto is ready to fight for the title?
Absolutely. This group of players has broken past cycles of early eliminations, showing resilience and balanced offensive power. If they maintain this level of play, they’ll be a serious threat in the race for the World Series.
