The Toronto Blue Jays ended their series against the New York Yankees with a loss, but taking three of four in their most important series of the season is a significant accomplishment. With a much-needed day of rest today, the Blue Jays will travel to Atlanta for a three-game set against the 56-88 Braves beginning Tuesday. Grab your bats, pitchers!
Despite going 3.5 games up on the Yankees in the AL East, the health of Edwin Encarnacion and Troy Tulowitzki is Toronto’s primary concern. Reserves are in place to keep the boat above water until their return, but the Jays will need both men in full working order come October.
