Blue Jays beat Bo-Sox 9-1, still 4.5 games back.

On Saturday the 22nd of August, the Toronto Blue Jays found themselves in a good spot as they were only 2.5 games back of the division behind the Ray's. A lot has changed, as by the end of Wednesday night, they were 4.5 games back.

Shun Yamaguchi took the mound for the Blue Jays and gave them four solid innings, only giving up a run as he picked up the W. On 2 hits and two base on balls, while striking out a pair of soxs. The rest of the staff would only allow 1 hit and 1 base on balls.

Grichuk, Tellez, Guerrero, and Espinal would all have good days at the plate, with two hits each. Hernandez, Gurriel, and Espinal would all find bases via walks. While Tellez would hit two homers and Grichuk would also send one to the bleachers.

All in all, the Blue Jays picked up 9 runs on 11 hits to score the victory. The Jays are 15-14, 4.5 games back. The club is barely holding on to the last wildcard spot. Not to sound like a broken record but the Blue Jays control their own destiny. 

Once the post season starts, anything can happen. 20 years from now, nobody's going to care about an asterisk next to their world series title. The team has one goal this year, "Win this one for Tony."
