Blue Jays clinch AL East for the first time since 2015: Toronto holds off Yankees, secures No. 1 playoff seed

The Toronto Blue Jays have clinched the American League East division title for the first time since 2015. This achievement secures the team's position as the number one playoff seed in the American League. The Blue Jays held off a challenge from the New York Yankees to secure the division title. This means that the team, led by superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr., will receive a bye to the American League Division Series (ALDS), bypassing the Wild Card round. The Blue Jays' success this season has been driven by their powerful offense, featuring standout performances from Guerrero Jr. and other key players. Their victory in the AL East division reflects their consistent performance and dominance throughout the regular season. This division title marks an important milestone for the Blue Jays, who are aiming to make a deep playoff run and potentially capture their first World Series championship since 1993.
