After nine rounds of Wednesday night’s heavyweight fight, the judges have scored the bout 11-9 for… the Toronto Blue Jays. This is what American League East baseball is supposed to look like, haymakers flying back and forth in a game that had absolutely everything.

With an 8-5 win over the New York Yankees on Thursday, the Blue Jays completed a sweep of their division rival and took over sole possession of first place in the process. Their record sits at 49-38 with the Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays each one game behind them at 48-39.

The Toronto Blue Jays have thrust themselves into the playoff picture in the American League with some strong performances on the field over the last few weeks.
