The Toronto manager of Blue Jays John Schneider was only 20 seconds after his Sunday after playing on Sunday, when his roaring players and updated in champagne drown him.
His team needed victory on the last day of the regular season to complete the title of the American League of the Eastern Division. After he launched 13-4 defeats of Tampa-Bay rays, the celebration of 10 years could no longer wait for the creation.
“We never stopped believing each other and knew that we were really good,” said Schneider. “The baseball season is long, and something happens. You have ups and downs.
“I think that as soon as we reached our step, we did not think that someone could defeat us.”
Alejandro Kirk fell into a large helmet in the first inning of Toronto, and then added Homer with two races. George Springer and Addison Barger deeply plunged into the seventh Inning with five runs, which froze the fourth victory in a row Blue Jace.
Toronto earned the first seed in Al and will gain an advantage in the home field in the AL series of five people against New York or Boston. This will be the first appearance of Blue Jays' Alds since their last title of the unit in 2015.

“We are fighting every night,” Kirk said. “We just enjoy it right now.”

Since that time, the victory completed a wonderful turn in the worst to the first. Toronto finished 94-68 in the season, a 20-wise jump from the 2024 disappointing campaign.
“It's just an incredible moment,” said Springer. “I am so happy for the city, fans and the country. This is cool”.
The Yankees also won on Sunday to finish 94-68, but settled in second place, because Toronto had a tie-break due to the best record. In New York, the best of three wild cards against Red Sox will be held, starting from Tuesday.
Toronto set the tone early in front of the sale crowd in 42,083 on a glorious autumn day.
After Jan Seymour (4-3) released walks in the first Inning, Vladimir Herrero Jr. went on the run to put Toronto on the board. Daulton Varsho allocated the bases to the 387-fair explosion of Kirk above the wall in the left field.
The spotted rays became a one-time game, scoring three runes in the third Inninga against the starter of Toronto Kevin Gausman, who was pulled after Tampa Bay loaded the base with two authors in the fourth.
Mason Flukharty (5-2) came and crossed Jonathan Arand to avoid Jem. In the fifth Inning, Kirk launched a 419-foot explosion on a direct field.
In general, the five publishers of Toronto kept the rays from the scoreboard, since this season Blue Jays improved to Al-Best 54-27 at home.
New York used a lot of pressure in the last week, but even a winning series of eight games was not enough to catch Toronto.
Blue Jace controlled his own fate and won when it was important. Their reward is something precious outside the days before the game 1 on Saturday.
Toronto can drop his initial rotation and can return some players to the composition. Boyhett (knee), Chris Bassitt (back) and Tai France (scythe) have achieved success in recent days and may be able to return.
In recent years, the round of wild cards has been rude on Blue Jace, and all three performances since 2020 ended in two games.
Now they have time to prepare for their next goal: to return to the series of the Al Championship for the first time since 2016.
“This (feels) good,” said Herrero. “But the work is not finished.”
