The Toronto Blue Jays punched their ticket to the ALCS Wednesday night with a 5-1 win over the New York Yankees, closing the series on the road in the Bronx and marking their first trip to the championship round since 2016.
Toronto dominated the series, outscoring the Yankees 34-19 across four games. In doing so, they leaned on the same tactics that propelled them to a division title in the regular season.
