The Toronto Blue Jays have been at the head of the AL East division since the beginning of July. Now with September here the Blue Jays needed to win games against top teams to show they're a serious contender. September began with a rough 5-4 loss against the Cincinnati Reds who were fighting for a Wild Card spot.
Then, the Blue Jays won the next two games to take the series against the Reds in Cincinnati. Which proved to be big considering the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox continued to remain close in the standings.
