Blue Jays move into AL Wild Card spot, go over .500

sportsSep 5, 202628604

The Toronto Blue Jays placed right-hander Jameson Taillon on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right elbow inflammation after he was pulled following two innings against the Kansas City Royals and sent for an MRI. Manager John Schneider said the team is seeking a second opinion on the imaging and has not ruled Taillon out for the season. Taillon allowed one run on two hits in those two innings; he was making his first appearance since Aug. 10 after being on the IL with right forearm tendinitis. The 34-year-old is 2-6 this season with a 5.65 ERA in 18 starts and has pitched in three games for 10 innings since being acquired from the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 2. Toronto entered Saturday one game behind Cleveland for the American League's final wild-card spot.

I just checked the wildcard standings before you posted this.

I take a fair amount of shit for my Jays cap in Edmonton but at least they make playoffs.

I would like them to win and have Fuck Trump signs in the locker room. They can do their parade on Chinese EVs sipping Black Velvet.

The haters said it couldn’t happen. And to be honest, the haters really looked like they had a strong case in late July

The season doesn't end today, but if it did, #Bluejays would be in the playoffs. They beat KC 4-3 to catch Cleveland for ALWC, thanks to seven hits between Kazuma Okamoto & Nathan Lukes and some great work from the bullpen. They've won seven of eight and go for the sweep tomorrow.

The #BlueJays win 4-3. They are over .500 for the first time since April and are, with a Guardians loss, in a postseason spot once again. 19 games left.

Tonight is the first 4-hit game of Kazuma Okamoto's career. That last one could be critical as the Blue Jays take advantage of KC letting them stick around in this inning.
