TORONTO — After Tuesday’s stellar performance, the Blue Jays have to be feeling mighty good about the prospects of facing the Orioles in a winner-take-all wild-card clash next week.
Blue Jays young ace Aaron Sanchez struck out 10 and allowed only a single run in six innings and the Jays moved two games ahead of Baltimore with a 5-1 victory.
Coming off of one of the more demoralizing losses of the season — because it included a Jason Grilli blown save and injuries to two key players when they could least afford any absences — it was crucial for the Blue Jays to get off to a good start on Tuesday.
