Today could be quite the pivotal day in the AL East. With back-to-back wins over the New York Yankees, the Toronto Blue Jays are now within eight games in the division, and a win this afternoon will wrap up the series win and position them for a huge sweep.
Last night, Kevin Gausman produced one of his best performances of the season in a 4-0 shutout win for Toronto.
Toronto had been pretty wasteful with the opening that the Yankees' slide this month had offered them, but they have stepped up in this week's head-to-head matchup thus far.
Now the pressure is on the Yankees&# 39; struggling lineup and Gerrit Cole to deliver this afternoon. They may still be in control in the AL East for now, but will that continue?
