The Blue Jays were hoping for better than a 3-3 week against two weaker opponents, but they remain a full five games ahead in the AL East race.
It was a mediocre week for the Toronto Blue Jays as they played .500 baseball against two sub-mediocre opponents. Toronto went 1-2 in Pittsburgh and took the first two games against the Marlins before losing the series finale in Miami on Sunday afternoon. The silver lining from this week was the fact the two teams chasing them in the AL East were playing each other for four straight games, ensuring only one of them could gain any ground, and neither of them did, with the Red Sox sitting second, five games back and the Yankees half a game behind Boston.
