NEW YORK -- The Toronto Blue Jays pulled within a half-game of the Yankees for the final AL wild card on Thursday after handing New York one of the worst four-game sweeps in club history.
The Yankees never had a lead during the series, the first time that's happened in a series of four games or more since 1924 against the Washington Senators, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The Yankees had played 1,250 series of four or more games while having the lead at least once before Thursday night.
The 6-4 win also completed the Blue Jays' first four-game sweep in the Bronx since 2003 and marked their eighth straight win.
