Back-to-back losses by the Toronto Blue Jays in Tampa Bay have certainly delayed some of Toronto's momentum, especially when considering how close they are to clinching a postseason berth. Had they managed to win just one of those games, there was potential for the Blue Jays to be in a position to clinch on Friday. That's why it was so important for that game to be viewed by as many people as possible.
However, the original tv broadcast schedule had Friday's series opener between the Blue Jays and the Royals in Kansas City exclusively on Apple TV.
