The Toronto Blue Jays crushed the Baltimore Orioles 22-7 yesterday in Baltimore.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Teoscar Hernández each hit a grand slam, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. slugged his 44th homer, and Jake Lamb also homered during a 10-run third inning for the Blue Jays, who took three of the four in the series. Toronto scored 44 runs in their three victories.
The emphatic Toronto win coupled with losses by the Yankees and Red Sox plant the Blue Jays in the first wild card spot, although with 2 less games played than Boston.
The Blue Jays are now 80-63 on the season and will next kick off a 3-game home series against the Tampa Bay Rays tonight.
