It’s forced Marsch adapt — and Canada to develop depth faster.

Make it 5-1 for the Toronto Blue Jays!

Top of the 8th, looking good for Toronto in The Bronx.

That's the ball game. Yankees win 9-6 to stave off elimination after trailing 6-1.

The Toronto Blue Jays will look to close this series out tomorrow night at Yankee Stadium once again.

Score after 20 innings in the ALDS:

Quite the level these Toronto boys are playing at.

Game 3 time and 8:00 pm ET is too late for the first pitch on a Tuesday, even in the postseason.

A chance for the Toronto Blue Jays to sweep the New York Yankees tonight at Yankee Stadium.
