The Toronto Blue Jays look to stay in first place as the New York Yankees visit the Dome this weekend.


This series will bring back memories of 1985 and the Blue Jays clinching the American League East Division for the first time since 1985. The newspaper here is from The Toronto Star.

The Yankees are coming off an 8-6 win over the Indians yesterday to avert a three-game sweep in Cleveland and a five-game losing streak that started with a sweep by the Blue Jays in Yankee Stadium. Their record of 62-51 leaves them 0.5 games back of Toronto for top spot in the American League East.

The Jays improved to 64-52 after finishing off Oakland in a three-game sweep at The Dome and extend their winning streak to 11. Their 39 home wins tie them with Kansas City for the most in the American League.

Series Schedule / Probable Starters

Friday at 7:07 pm ET - Ivan Nova (4-4, 3.52) vs. David Price (11-4, 2.35)
Saturday at 1:07 pm ET - Masahiro Tanaka (8-5, 3.79) vs. Marco Estrada (10-6, 3.21)
Sunday at 1:07 pm ET - Luis Severino (0-1, 2.45) vs. Drew Hutchison (11-2, 5.26)

The Jays will be wearing this cap for the series finale.

You can continue to go back in time with a look at Blue Jays songs from the past.


On a somber note, former Toronto Blue Jays manager John Farrell has stage 1 lymphoma. Thoughts and prayers go out to the Boston skipper and his family.
